'The book is inspiring at many levels: in the artistry of the poems and prose, in the depth of understanding brought to Biblical history and the healings themselves, and in the humble description of one person's journey toward healing[...] Lory Widmer Hess writes with a deep and painful self-honesty.' -- Signe Eklund Schaefer, author of Why on Earth? And She Was Always There 'Lory takes us on an artistic, inspiring, and informative journey through the trials of her own story, and the healing she found in working artistically with the gospels. It is a treasure of a book in that it contains accessible explanations of deep spiritual knowledge out of anthroposophy, artistic and personal poetry that move the heart, and the testimony of a life lived by one who has earnestly taken up the path of discipleship.' -- Rev. Anna Silber, Christian Community priest
