Endorsements for Beloved One Series
When I first saw Suz's bold and colourful paintings I didn't think immediately of the practice of spiritual contemplation. But as I sat with the text and the paintings I found God's Word coming alive, revealing more truth and drawing me in to God's presence. Suz has shown us her movement into God's Word and it's story; may you be so drawn to hear him speak to you. I warmly commend this collection of visual reflections on John's gospel to you.
Mary Lewis (Anglican pastor)
Suz has written and illustrated a wonderful collection of visual devotions suitable for both those new to the Christian faith and those who have been walking with Jesus many years. The interplay between the words and illustrations, draw the reader into the story of Jesus and what it means for us today. The devotions are easy to read and Suz’s real-life anecdotes ensure her insights and applications are relatable and authentic.

Suz Foley’s engaging devotional book based on the Gospel of John has brought those stories
to life through her own painted illustrations. Each devotion is both simple and profound:
informed by a solid understanding of the Gospel tradition but communicated in easily
understood language with accompanying questions to ponder over what she has offered in her words and images. Suz invites us to be mentored by the disciple John, the beloved one, whose own life was changed by the love Jesus. We are introduced to a ‘fresh glimpse of
Jesus’ through Suz’s gift of creativity. This book will inspire and encourage each of us in our
faith quest.

"The beauty of these devotions lies in how they capture Suz’s own journeying with God through the Gospel of John. Her reflections and artwork provide a unique and uplifting perspective that invites us to experience and appreciate God in a fresh way."
