Ken Gire books

I highly recommend "The Work of His Hand." It gives a touching and beautiful story about The Pieta sculpture in the Vatican. Your life can't helped but be uplifted by this book. In fact, all of Ken Gire's writings are well worth reading. You'll be blessed!

sculpture can teach so much

most of us know the statue of the PIETA, but did we everreally look deep into the meaning and beauty of this famouswork of art. For example when the author studies the eyesof Mary he shows us things that we have never seen before.He looks at her hands and sees insights into life and sufferingin her hands.......He even looks at the savage attack made onthis beautiful sculpture and shows us that we can learn muchfrom that also...this book would be a perfect Lenten meditation,or a book for someone who is suffering in the hospital and trying to find meaning in all the suffering...READ IT AND YOU WILL WANT TO SHARE IT WITH SOMEONE YOU LOVE...
