An icon (from the Greek word "eikon," "image") is a wooden panel painting of a holy person or scene from Orthodox Christianity, the religion of the Byzantine Empire that is practiced today mainly in Greece and Russia. It was believed that these works acted as intermediaries between worshipers and the holy personages they depicted. Their pictorial language is stylized and primarily symbolic, rather than literal and narrative. Indeed, every attitude, pose, and color depicted in an icon has a precise meaning, and their painters--usually monks--followed prescribed models from iconographic manuals.The goal of this book is to catalogue the vast heritage of images according to iconographic type and subject, from the most ancient at the Monastery of Saint Catherine in the Sinai to those from Greece, Constantinople, and Russia. Chapters focus on the role of icons in the Orthodox liturgy and on common iconic subjects, including the fathers and saints of the Eastern Church and the life of Jesus and his followers. As with other volumes in the Guide to Imagery series, this book includes a wealth of color illustrations in which details are called out for discussion.

Fun, Entertaining, and a Big Hit with Kids!
Format: Hardcover
The FGTeeV book is an absolute win for kids who love humor, adventure, and gaming. From the very first page, it grabs your attention with funny moments, exciting action, and characters kids already know and love. It keeps them laughing while actually wanting to read—which is a huge bonus!
The story is fast-paced, easy to follow, and perfect for reluctant readers. The illustrations and playful style make it even more engaging, and it feels just like the fun energy from their videos brought into a book.
If you’re looking for a book that gets kids excited about reading, you can’t go wrong with FGTeeV. Highly recommend for elementary-age readers and any FGTeeV fan! 📚🎮

Best one in the series!
Format: Hardcover
My son is 12 and has been watching the FGTeeV family for a long time. He's read all of their books so far and he said this one was the best! He's very excited about the new Campfire book being released this year.

Great book for kids
Format: Paperback
My daughter is a fan of this family on YouTube. She is in first grade and beginning to read chapter books. This style of book has encouraged her to continue reading. She is on her second FGTEEV book And I believe that the pictures with words in that comic book style is an encouragement for her to continue reading. She really enjoys the story and all the bright illustrations.
