Devotion requires action. It’s more than a feeling.
It’s an act that demonstrates one’s
commitment to something greater than themselves.
“The stronger our devotion, the greater the blessings. But to have no devotion is like hiding oneself in a house with all the doors and shutters closed. The sunlight will never get in.”
– Dilgo Khyentse
“Fidelity to human order makes devotion possible.”
– Wendell Berry
“We all require devotion to something more than
ourselves for our lives to be endurable.”
– Atul Gawande, M.D.
“The price of a successful relationship is devotion.
Devotion is, essentially, a commitment to
something we value.”
– Donna Goddard

NEW BOOK
D E V O T I O N
This powerful collection of images is collected from the entirety of McCurry’s career traveling to every corner of the globe. From a mosque in Afghanistan to Burma’s Golden Rock; an Easter offering in Paraguay to an elderly couple at Lourdes; a Tibetan monk in India to evangelicals in America’s heartland.
McCurry captures penetrating moments of devotion, loyalty, faithfulness, and dedication.
Reproduced in stunning color, these photographs honor the universal desire to create meaning in the midst of everyday life and offer viewers an opportunity to connect with their own spirituality—whatever form that takes.
