Synopsis Under the Gaze of God by : G David Williams CP
The way I understand the gaze of God to have a defining influence on spiritual growth and development has, as its overarching image, the way a mother gazes at her infant at the breast: It is a gaze that is tender; all-absorbing; exclusive; filled with wonder and love; tranquil; and protective. Just as the mother’s gaze engages the infant in a dialogue without words and provokes a response, so too the gaze of God evokes a response from the human heart. Just as the mutual gaze of mother and infant sets up a relationship which becomes the basis of communication, so too the mutual gaze of God and the soul become the basis for prayer. The main insight of the book is that the movement into union with God is circular rather than linear; that it is not exclusively a movement into something new, something that has not previously occurred, but is also, and more importantly, a movement towards recapturing something which has already existed, namely, that relationship we enjoyed, albeit pre-consciously, at our mother’s breast when God looked upon us and saw that we were very good.

Synopsis Under the Gaze of God by : Edward Poppe
Before being published as a small book, these "counsels of perfection" and spiritual notes by Blessed Edward Poppe (1890-1924), a Belgian priest whose cause for canonization is under way, had been transcribed a hundred times by hand by those who had tasted their flavor, vigor, and supernatural wisdom. Fresh and luminous, this little book has been a tremendous success in Dutch, French, Italian, and German; it now appears at last in English. Responding well to the needs of the faithful, it will become an inseperable vademecum for all those who wish to live "under the gaze of God."

Synopsis Under the Gaze of the Bible by : Jean-Louis Chrétien
Jean-Louis Chrétien's collection of essays and speeches on reading sacred scripture is enriched by his immersion in the classics of ancient philosophy and theology, as well as the imaginative creativity and sensibility of a poet. He is just as likely to quote Claudel as Aquinas or Origen. His intimate acquaintance with patristic writings combines with a sympathetic understanding of such Protestant sources as Luther, Calvin, and Barth, yielding an admirably ecumenical perspective on the Bible. The title refers to the passage in the Epistle of James (1:23-24) concerning the Word of God as a mirror into which one gazes. The concomitant notion of not only examining the text itself but actually being examined by the Word is a fruitful trope for learning how to be more fully nourished by one's study of the Bible. The Great Conversation of author and reader that is the stuff of great secular literature thus plays itself out in Chrétien's vision as a rich sacred dialogue between readers and their Author-Maker. He also makes particularly profitable use of Kierkegaard and St. Augustine as he explores topics such as the teachability of the bishop as teacher (like Chaucer's clerk, he would "gladly learn" before he can "gladly teach") and productively meditates on the biblical doctrines of joy, hope, and witness/testimony (for which there is but one word in French).

Synopsis The Gaze of the Crucified Christ by : Pauline Dimech
The author claims that she had a spiritual experience at the age of thirty-four that gave some unity to her life. She experienced the gaze of the Crucified Christ in a very powerful way. This is where the name of the book comes from. The book contains a theological reflection on the gaze of God, but it is also the autobiography of the author, and it includes references to the people, the music, the movies, the books, and the politics that made her life what it is. The author claims that, throughout her ups and downs, even in sin and illness, she has felt that Christ’s gaze has stayed: loving, forgiving, and accompanying.

Synopsis Through His Eyes by : Jerram Barrs
Eve, Sarah, Deborah, Mary, the woman at the well... women have played pivotal roles in redemptive history. Their case studies reveal God's perspective on women, then and now. Few biblical teachings have been as misunderstood and muddled by those inside and outside the church as its instruction concerning women. Through His Eyes answers the question "What does God think about women, and how does he treat them?" by walking readers through several biblical case studies. Through His Eyes begins with Eve and a series of Old Testament examples that demonstrate the respect God gives to women and their significant place in salvation history. In the New Testament we see how God blessed Mary by calling her to be the mother of our Savior and how beautifully Jesus treated women. Here is a happy exposition of the dignity and glory the Lord showers on women. The author encourages women to delight in their creation and calling, and he challenges men to honor women as does the Lord himself.
