Our ability to look, to listen and to respond in speech (and the magical interplay of the three) constitutes our humanity. People in the past honoured the senses by calling them 'the Talismans of the Lord', each one gifted to take part in the mystery of creation: ears to hear God's wonders, eyes to see his signs, tongue to tell his praise. The chief impediment to religion in this age, Dennis Lennon believes, is that no one ever looks at anything at all - not so as to contemplate it in depth, to grasp and to enter what it is to be that particular thing. This book helps us explore what it means to please God by cultivating such a quality of looking, listening and speaking.
