"Joseph Campbell once said, 'People say that what we're all seeking is the meaning of
life. I think what we're really seeking is an experience of actually feeling the rapture of being alive.' With Awaken Your Senses, Brent Bill and Beth Booram have given us a superb resource for seeking the God of life through sensuous experience, a way of knowing that has been sadly neglected—and too often held suspect—by the church. How did a faith based on the claim that "the Word became flesh" become so divorced from bodily, incarnate knowledge? Here is a beautiful book that will help us reclaim our bodies, our senses, and our relationship with God." --Parker J. Palmer (author of Healing the Heart of Democracy, Let Your Life Speak, and A Hidden Wholeness)

"Finally, a book that actually positions readers for a transforming connection with the healing Christ! In Picturing the Face of Jesus: Encountering Christ through Art, Beth Booram does more than write about Jesus. She brings us face to face with Him, integrating wonderful stories and creative spiritual exercises that invite us to experience the Lord in ways both needed and powerful. Beth Booram is a gifted wounded healer who knows that the journey to wholeness is all about experiencing Jesus. This book is a light along that path for us all." Dr. Terry Wardle (Professor at Ashland Theological Seminary and author of Untamed and Unleashed, Healing Care, Healing Prayer and Draw Close to the Fire)
"Beth's book is a very unique and creative approach to getting people to understand the stages of their life and how those stages can distort their relationship with God. She has wisely identified the different landscapes we must travel through. I don't believe I've seen any other writer use the landscape metaphor as she has. Beth's book is easy to understand and I was able to relate to the landscapes I have just been through and am living in now." Steve Arterburn (author of Healing is A Choice and Every Man's Battle and founder of New Life Live Ministries)
