Description
Most Catholics are quite comfortable with the idea of encountering God with hearts and minds. Using the heart or brain to “sense” God’s presence doesn’t feel like a stretch. But the notion of finding God with our five senses—sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste—could seem strange indeed. In fact, it might even seem worldly or downright wrong.
In Taste and See, Ginny Kubitz Moyer beautifully counters this common misunderstanding. Using personal stories, anecdotes, and Scripture, she demonstrates how the five senses are a powerful, biblically based means for us to encounter God, not only as we practice our faith but also as we participate in the “messy splendor” of daily life.
Each sense is allotted five chapters, each of which highlights a different experience of that sense. Every chapter concludes with Ignatian Examen-inspired prayer steps that encourage us to recognize and reflect upon God’s presence and goodness in the physical world.
From roses to the rosary, from candle smoke to Communion wine, Taste and See helps readers truly find God in all things—from the mundane to the sublime.

I just loved this book of reflections, five each for each of the five senses. These personal reflections get to the heart of Catholicism and how its practices enfold all of our senses.
We may not think about it but aren't all our senses engaged at Mass? Not only do we hear the words, we also hear the bells and the choir. We smell the incense. We are nourished by the beauty of the architecture, glass, and statues.
Moyer does a wonderful job of combining her memories, her current life, and the practice of Catholicism to show us how to appreciate God in so many ways in all parts of our lives.
I really loved this little book.
