She taught a way of encountering the Word behind both the words of Scripture and the artist's meditation on Scripture. This became a way of seeing art as an aid to contemplative prayer. This process resulted in her much-beloved O Taste and See columns that appeared in the spiritual formation journal <em>Conversations, </em> now expanded into this book. In each chapter you'll encounter a passage of Scripture and a corresponding piece of art. You'll be guided into deeper levels of meaning and reflection through the text and the questions at the end of each chapter. In the process you'll find yourself entering into a new experience of prayer and meditation in God's presence.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Benner's gentle guidance will likely spark some ideas in you as well, and may well help you develop God's gifts of seeing eyes and a spirit ready to respond in joyful obedience.</p>--Michelle Van Loon, Englewood Review, Lent 2011<br><br><p>Juliet Benner's new book provides a rich and insightful account that may well help us begin to recover the value of image for the faith journey.</p>--Imago Newsletter, Spring 2011<br>
