Taste and See: Experiencing the Stories of Advent and Christmas

by Jan Johnson

Jan Johnson offers an innovative Advent small-group study built around a careful contextual reading of scripture combined with the imaginative reading approach introduced by St. Ignatius. The title Taste and See hints at how readers are invited to experience the stories of the season with their senses. Drawing on that experience of scripture, participants then consider how these stories speak to their own lives.

Read for Advent Book Study. Very good. Gave a new way of looking a scripture, prayer and meditation. Especially good for group discussion during the season. Easy going. Should appeal to all Christians wherever they are in their faith journey

A great book to help learn the practices of slowing down and savoring scripture while reading it. Especially helped me to slow down and notice details while reading familiar passages of the Christmas story.
