For many who identify themselves as Christians; Jesus has never become experientially personal or real. Countless others who have faithfully followed Christ confess to a spiritual dryness and lack of joy. These individuals are weary and unmoved by the plethora of information about Jesus. What they long for is an experience with Jesus.Picturing the Face of Jesus is an invitation to experience Christ more deeply. Through a rich palette of experiential mediamdash;art contemplation; gospel story-telling; and imaginative prayermdash;the reader is invited to picture the face of Jesus; his expressive; one-of-a-kind; human face. As a result; Jesus will become a real person with whom they candidly relate; instead of a hero they merely admire. Through this encounter; their own hearts will be transformed as they begin to reflect the face of Christ to others.

Excellent in Kindle form to take on tours of NYCBy Chris PollardI Had Professor Reynolds in college years ago for an architecture of NY course and we used this as our text book along with walking tours. Excellent in Kindle form to take on tours of NYC. You will never look at a NYC bldg the same.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Better than I would have expectedBy Hopeless with computersReynolds has created the kind of book that in my younger days- before arthritis and side effects from blood pressure medications had a chance to take their toll- I would have gladly read at leisure a little bit at a time to save it for as long as possible. My background is in biology and history. but I have been fascinated by architecture and building things since my childhood.After a brief historical sketch of New York’s earliest. i.e.. Dutch architecture the book is well organized by building categories- housing. theaters. churches etcetera. You can see both the forest and the trees rather than getting lost in a street-by-street tour. Guidebooks like this too often read like laundry lists of facts and figures that can dehumanize a subject like this and turn the book into a textbook. But based on the little bit I have been able to read Reynolds’ hasn’t created a typical guide book. It’s very readable.The book’s one serious drawback is. as other readers have commented. its lack of illustrations. and its lack of color illustrations really emphasizes this one shortcoming. I realize that photos showing the construction and early history of an awful lot of NY buildings were done with primitive technology and it’s sad that so many early buildings have been lost without us having an adequate photographic record of them. That can’t be helped. But. I would have really liked for this book to have more photographs of the buildings that are still around- and which people like me will never be able to see in person.9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. A good book for a visitor to NYCBy A CustomerI bought this book a few days before my first visit to New York City. However. just reading very first part of this book gave me good knowledge of both history and architectures of NYC.This book starts with the born of New York City in 17th century. and covers many famous (and not so famous) architectures with about 200 photos taken by the author. It covers Georgian influence of 18th Century. Greek revival of 19th century. the Chicago school...etc. The Art Deco Skyscrapers. such as the Empire State building and the Chrysler building are well described. A whole chapter is devoted to Rockefeller Center. The history of MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) is interesting...For me. this book seems to have some small shortcomings. This book lacks "up to date" information. (This revised edition was first published in 1994.) Also. as a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright. I hope Guggenheim Museum have been covered more.
