Glimpses of the Divine by Gemma Simmonds

Writing with a reflective and perceptive gaze, Gemma Simmonds has shared depth and richness of insight into Koder's work. She sees symbols and themes in the images that link to Scriptures and opens up a meaningful reflective space for others to consider and be enriched by these powerful images.
Real beauty captures the soul for GodSo said Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. In this small book two fine artists combine their graced gifts for image and word to create a masterpiece to nourish your soul. Read it, ponder it, believe it - your life will be profoundly enriched. 'Glimpses of the Divine' is a tender and beautiful epiphany of the closeness of our incarnate God, bringing healing and joy to you and those around you. Daniel O'Leary, author
