Beads of Faith

?Using beads in prayer is archetypal?it is common to all the great faiths from the oldest, Hinduism, to modern Christianity. Here, for the first time, an accessible anthology introduces a mainstream readership to the rosary and prayer-bead traditions of the world?s great religions. Medieval manuscripts, icons, , Persian miniatures, sculpture and temple carvings, as well as evocative contemporary photographs, are used to illuminate the beads in all their glory. Key rituals and practices are presented alongside each rosary, with quotes from great past and present religious figures. The book also contains simple meditation and mindfulness techniques for everyday life based on spiritual teachings. For readers of all faiths and none, who seek inner peace and an understanding of the Divine, this is the perfect book.?
