Altars : Bringing Sacred Shrines into Your Everyday Life

Summary: Great Concept, OK Book
Review: I agree with Denise Linn's approach to the topics of altars and sacred space. I learned some things from this book, and it gave me some issues to think through in my own life. But I was disappointed with the book at the same time. I didn't enjoy the pictures, and was left with a hungry feeling at the end. I've read many books about altars, and this is the best one so far, but isn't the gem I had expected (wanted) it to be.

Summary: Beautiful photos and filled with inspiration.
Review: I have arranged various collected objects on a shelf for some time now and did not realize that this was actually an alter! This book has helped me reorganize my beloved and sacred objects into my very personal little space with the appropriate intent. Thank you to Ms. Linn for this wonderful book. I'm so happy that I purchased my copy last year as it is now out of print (which I don't understand since it was only published in 1999). If you can get your hands on a copy please cherish it.

Summary: The *best* book on Altars
Review: I've looked at every book I could get my hands on about the subject of Altars, and Denise Linn's book on the topic is, in my opinion, the best. Many of the other books have way too much text, but Denise Linn's book on Altars has lots of great pictures and just the right amount of descriptive text. She also has wonderful suggestions on various types of altar objects (with pictures), where to find different altar objects, imaginative altar layouts, etc. This is a *must have* book, and unfortunately, I'm sad to see that it is currently out of print. So if you can find a used one, grab it ! ! You won't be disappointed.
