Cathedral: The Story of Its Construction by David Macaulay

5.0

This is a truly stunning book. The illustrations are incredible; detailed and animated, and the writing is concise and clear. I have read Ken Follett, but I still learned from this. I appreciated, too, the theological tidbits. The patience to embark on a project like this, knowing you would likely not live to see its completion is impressive and needed in this age of instant gratification. Also, the desire to build this incredible space to the glory of God; sure, pride and selfishness were also certainly involved, but this book shows how the architecture itself is a witness.
