O Taste and See: A Biblical Reflection on Experiencing God

By Bonnie Thurston

If you have always been troubled by the image of God

as a punitive judge, this book will show you why this

view is so mistaken. Psalm 34:8's "O taste and see

how good the Lord is" contains in miniature the whole

process of coming to and growing in faith. It gives us

insight into God and into how we experience God. We

come to know this good and gracious God by means

of the body: seeing (a metaphor for understanding)

and tasting (shorthand for what the body knows).

In fact, it is precisely engrafted hunger that turns us

God-ward--only to find God waiting on the road for

our return and ready to host a feast for us.

"If you think you might be hungry for God, but

haven't experienced God directly, or if you are

a believer who still feels malnourished, I hope this little book might be for you a kind of manna.Taste. See." --from the Introduction
