”The perspective from which we view God, ourselves, one another, and the world around us impacts greatly on what we see, and how we respond …”
This glorious little book invites the reader into the practice of visio divina – seeing the world as sacred. The loving eye of Chris’s camera shows us the beauty of what is around us, from clothes pegs to sunsets, graffiti to bird flight. As we look, and read, all that is asked of us is that we slow down and notice. In our noticing, we come closer to the love of God for all of creation.
Perspectives by Chris Monaghan represents visually what made me fall in love with Australia and its Catholic Church: a tradition of a spirituality deeply embodied in nature and expressed in everyday wisdom.

In a world of fear, division, and conflict, it is a timely reminder that grace and beauty are everywhere, if we take time to stop and look. Chris’s warm, personal meditations accompany us as we find the courage to live towards love and hope.
