Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: VG. Wes Battoclette and Stacey Battoclette (illustratore). 1st Edition. 149pp, index of churches, profusely illustrated with full-color photographs, blue cloth with gilt titles at cover and spine, very bright and clean, inside and out, in bright, clean dust jacket with minor rubbing, and a discrete scratch at front panel, now housed in protective Brodart. From the Introduction, "Within the pages of this book, you will find a blend of places deemed sacred, representing a variety of denominations. From breathtaking feats of architecture to simple, one-room churches, this book attempts to illuminate the many ways Kentuckians define the word 'sacred.' As you note the differences in these places, I hope that you will see one key similarity among the featured places of worship: the seats, whether pews or chairs, all facing one direction. Though we pass each other on the streets and sometimes make brief eye contact in the frozen food section, our communities provide us little opportunity to be side by side, looking hopefully in the same direction. It is in these, our sacred places, that we come together. These places where we have gathered to celebrate, to pray, to worship and to live.".
