Virtual Book Tour: Review at Holy Ordinary

I am so delighted to have my book reviewed today by Brent Bill, author of many fine books including  Mind the Light: Learning to See with Spiritual Eyes, and blogger at Holy Ordinary: Musings and Photography from a Quaker Perspective:

Eyes of the Heart(The camera) is a gadget that is often thought of just as that – a gadget – rather than a entry into eternity and spiritual experience.  Christine’s book helps us broaden our spiritual horizons whether through phone camera or professional DLSRs.

Make no mistake.  This is no book solely for photographers.  It is for anyone who desires a fresh way of connecting the visible daily life with the often unnoticed Divine presence in it all.  It opens a new way of seeing God at work in and around us.  We behold beauty, life, truth and love as we learn to notice – as we accept Christine’s invitation to “see with the eyes of the heart.”
