Acerca de esta escucha

Since the advent of the internet, it has become increasingly obvious that our society suffers from a pornography problem—and Orthodox Christians are no exception. While many practical resources are available to help those who struggle with pornography use, these fail to address the problem at its deeper, spiritual root.

From Object to Icon offers a solution by showing all of us how to change the way we see—how to see iconographically rather than pornographically. Whether or not we struggle with pornography use, this book shows us how to stop objectifying others and instead see the spiritual reality in everyone we encounter.

Beautifully written and full of theological depth

If you’re cradle Orthodox you may not appreciate how utterly remarkable this book is. But wow it is a masterpiece.

Coming to Orthodoxy from an evangelical background, I had previously read “Every Man’s Battle” and other similar books. Even at the time those books seemed hollow and even colored by a gnostic distaste towards embodiment. I studied the scriptures deeply at that time and realized something deep was missing from the evangelical theology of embodiment. What was missing was the theology of the bodily resurrection, and of icons, and of the sacraments.

When I found orthodox Christianity it seemed obvious to me that this tradition had maintained precisely the needed antidote for the cultural disaster of the sexual revolution and the pornographic view of embodiment that infects American Christianity.

That is where this book absolutely shines. Williams makes the deep riches of our theology and faith directly accessible to struggling sinners like me. It is written with compassion, and love and kindness, yet never shrinking back from calling for deep repentance and healing of the heart. He never once gives in to gnostic tendencies like blaming of women bodies for men’s struggles. Instead, embodiment and sexuality are seen iconographicly, calling us “further up and further in” to the life of God.

This book needs to be in every parish in America. And now I’m going to listen through it again.

Great book

Not just pornography but can be applied in objectifying others in general and the masks we all wear.

Seeing the Image of God in Others

A wonderful book about seeing the image of God in others. This book may reform your thinking about how you see and interact with everyone else in your life, whether you struggle with s*xual sin or not. We all too often fail to recognize the image of God in others, and this book has a beautiful way of showing how to see the person in front of you as you would an icon. Highly recommended.

A truly profound and powerful book

A book about much more than pornography, but about two ways of seeing and encountering the world, two ways of being and becoming. It explains iconography more clearly and beautifully than I've encountered before. I definitely recommend.

Lifechange - All will benefit from this

This is a phenomenal book that Christians of all denominations can enjoy. Even if you recoil at the idea of venerating the holy icons of the eastern orthodox churches, you will still be blessed by a careful reading (listening) of this book.

A helpful juxtaposition

What I had hoped to be a polemic against pornography has been one of the most thoughtful reflections on concept of icons, both written and living.

The line of reasoning in the work is nuanced but not in a way that feels manipulative, but in a way that brings remarkable clarity and charity.

Naked and Seen

This book juxtaposes our over-sexualized world with the beauty and medicine offered via intimacy through the Church and its iconography.
Listen to this book and be blessed. Share it with the men and women in your parish. Venerate the icons with a renewed and holistic scope.

Must listen to and/or read!

My priest has been doing several homilies on some extracts and lessons from this book which got me and some parishioners looking into the book itself. I got the audible version and the actual copy of the book. This book has moved me very much and has changed my way of thinking and seeing not only others but myself. And has helped me to even understand the teachings of St.Sophrony of Essex and other saints what they talk about going down into the deep heart. This is a must wether you struggle with pornography or not. I myself do not struggle with pornography, but I do struggle with lust and many other vices due to many years of being in the western mindset of things and due to years of trauma and not getting the healing I needed until I came to Orthodoxy. Thanks be to God and the narration is great! Thank you Mr.Williams for this great piece of work! May God be with you and your family and friends.

Seismic

I didn’t know what to expect going in with this book. I bought it after listening to the author’s interview on the Ancient Faith Today podcast, that was obviously very good. However, as good as the interview was, I was soon to be shocked at how the interview paled in comparison.

While the title rightfully includes the word “pornographic” in its title, a word that tends to be louder than the words surrounding it, the focus of the book is what I consider a master class in what is iconography.

Let me state immediately that I didn’t think I understood the many dimensions of iconography; however, this book helped me to not only confirm how right I was in my lack of understanding, but it was like the author gently took me by the hand and showed me that there was far more to it than I had ever imagined. And what a wonderful revelation it’s been for me.

It goes with saying that I recommend this book. I believe it’s helpful in more ways than can be listed here. I will say that if you’re considering purchasing it, even in the slightest, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. It’s one I plan on reading and gifting to folks again and again.

So much more than I expected

This book is not just a book about addressing a pornography issue with icons. It’s a robust theology of personal spiritual transformation through encountering God in an intimate way. One of the best books I’ve listened to maybe ever.
