Hello Susan, My name is Peter, I got a copy of your book from Patricia Boutilier, our great nurse. I brought a book to Slovakia and checked the map on your website, it is already marked;) Anyway, I was planning to take some good picture of it somewhere for you. As I drove over to my parent's house, I went by a pretty cool yellow blooming field, so took a few more pictures.

Wow Peter! Thank you for taking some beautiful pictures of your country Slovakia for me! Looks like you have the same beautiful blue skies there that we do here in Florida. The colors in your photos are great! God Bless you Peter! Thank you for your support! Susan

Dear Susan,
I am writing to tell you how beautiful your book is. The stunning photography and the biblical verses that precede them are wonderful compliments. I especially like the picture of your shadow at the end; like a personal stamp to conclude the pictorial narrative. Well done, Susan!
I must tell you I received this as a gift from Joseph Cofield and I want to thank him, and to thank you, Susan. He was so thoughtful to present something so beautiful! An enduring labor on your part that will bring enduring blessing to many. I was touched by your introduction and that you repeated the truth from G-d’s word that He will take the broken, or painful and hurting areas of our life and transform us in the process. I’m glad you followed His instruction to use every book of the Bible, even the ones that people don’t generally read.
I will enjoy sharing this book, Susan, and I’ll keep it prominently displayed in my home. The L-rd watch over you and keep you in His Peace.
Shalom, Shalom,
Donna Tiberi

Greetings Sister Conner:
Thank you for the beautiful breathtaking book that you sent me at the behest of Mr. Joseph Cofield. Your work testifies to your giftedness as a photographer and your ability to give sight to God’s wonderful handy work and existence through your awe inspiring photos. Moreover, I am pleased that our website resonated with your heart and likewise with your site—it’s amazing! Your book was a timely receipt for me with all the challenges that the world is facing at this point in human history. Your work lifted my heart and refocused my mind on the beauty of God’s creation and reminded me of his sovereign control over this world and the affairs of men. My God continue to bless you and prosper your work and ministry.

I first met Susan Conner at a Bible study group. When she told about herself, she showed a book she had written. I was intrigued and afterward asked her about it. As I was leaving, Susan impulsively ran to her car, grabbed a book, and pressed it into my hands. She said that I should take it and if I liked it, pay her when I could. It turns out my room-mate was having a birthday in 2 days and I had nothing to give her as a gift. She really loves the Bible and nature. It was the perfect gift! Now each evening, we enjoy choosing a book of the Bible and reading the passage from Tabernacle for a Shadow or thumbing through the pictures and choosing the passage that accompanies a particular picture. It has been a huge blessing to us both!

Happy Anniversary, "Tabernacle for a Shadow"! How fitting that it would make its debut on Independence Day, a day when we, as believers, can celebrate the fact that we are "free indeed." God the Son, Jesus Christ, has set us free from the bondage of sin and death. Now we are free to celebrate Him, draw near to Him, serve Him, love Him, and abide in Him...forever! Part of drawing near to God is knowing and applying God's Word to our lives. What a beautiful tool "Tabernacle for a Shadow" is in that regard, giving us beautiful images which, with the Holy Spirit's help, highlight and cement God's Truth in our hearts and minds. I have been blessed to be a part of the "Tabernacle for a Shadow" adventure, and couldn't think of a more special seed to sow than this book. May each of us seek God's wisdom about how He may be calling us to support the holy journey of this book. It was truly written for such a time as this, with a unique manner of reaching souls. When readers see the natural beauty of creation that is shown in the pictures, they are drawn to the power of the transforming Word of God. And Susan couldn't have made it simpler, placing the relevant scriptures right next to the pictures. And not a daunting amount to read. Just enough. Just enough to open us up to the Holy Spirit, who does all things well in our spiritual journeys. For some, this book may prompt the first step in that journey. For some, it may offer strength, joy, and encouragement along the way. For others, it may offer hope, assurance, and expectancy on the final steps of their earthly path. "Tabernacle for a Shadow" is all about God and making Him known. It is a gift that we can give as a gift! What a privilege. May this precious book continue to fulfill its mission, blessing all the priceless souls in its path.

Joseph --got my copy of Tabernacle for a Shadow the other day...beautiful photography, of course, but I was especially impressed with the care that was taken to match appropriate scripture to the scenery. I feel certain I will refer to these pages many times in the future. Our good fortune to meet and talk with you at First Lutheran. Thanks very much.

I worked for two audiologists hoping they would want a closer walk with our God. I never sensed a seeking for that but they were the means by which I could sell or place many of your books into people's hands. At least 5 of the doctor's patients received them with SUCH JOY! Another patient sat reading my copy of the book and could not truly keep QUIET. She loudly read each page while she waited for her appointment. So I gave the book to her to take back to the assisted living facility where she lived! I just purchased another for my den and one for my son and daughter-in-law.
To this day, it was such a thrill to listen to that patient reading all that she could on the pages with your photographs. She sat in her wheelchair near the telephones and possibly the WORD went to all others in hearing range. It was a great privilege. I enjoy helping in this journey. I love you my dear Susan!

Today I bought my first Christmas gift and it was "Tabernacle for a Shadow" by Susan Conner. Fortunately for me, I purchased my first copy from Susan earlier this year when I met her at our Great Banquet reunion group. Each night before going to bed, I read a few pages of Susan's marvelous book. What a treasure it has been and continues to be for me to associate her amazing photographs with our Lord's words!! My friend who is also a photographer of nature will so enjoy Susan's work; hence, the perfect Christmas present when I give it to him this year. My wish is that "Tabernacle for a Shadow' blesses you & yours as it has me & will continue to do so for years to come!

Dear Susan,
I found your Tabernacle for a Shadow book very inspirational, especially with all the Biblical Scriptual references, and Beautiful Photography. I am a member of the Creation Reseach Institute, and really enjoyed reading all the Bible References, and seeing the photos of God's Creation! I would recommend this Beautiful, and Inspirational book to everyone; it really does reinforce our Faith in God as the Supreme Creator! The Proof is in the Pudding!!!

Joseph, my dear friend,
What a magnificent book! I cannot accurately put into words how much receiving Tabernacle for a Shadow meant to me; especially, coming from you. The words, photography, and inspiration are transforming. It is a book that will carry me through life. Its home will be on the shelf next to my bed, where I frequently reach for something to read when my mind is troubled, and I cannot sleep. I will also share it with my daughter, Tina, and my six-year old granddaughter, Rhona. Rhona receives weekly (formal) religious instruction, and is learning about our Holy Father, Jesus, and heaven.
I browsed Tabernacle for a Shadow’s website, and I see that you are the International Marketing Director for Tabernacle for a Shadow. You are a truly special person, who is lead by the Spirit.

I have been blessed, as only my Lord and Savior could bless, by my sister in Christ, Susan and her book, Tabernacle for a Shadow. She allows the Holy Spirit to work in her and she is obedient to the Word. I watched as she was led by the Holy Spirit to develop this most powerful book with her awe-inspiring photography. This book has comforted me at times of illness, led me to delve more deeply into the
Holy Bible, inspired me by the majesty of Our Father's creation and brought me to a place of peace in times
of confusion. This is the WORD ALIVE THROUGH CREATION!!!
I have purchased many Tabernacle for a Shadow books to bless others and have encouraged them to bless others through its contents. Purchase one or more of these books for yourself or others....you will never regret that purchase but you will see the Lord use it for His Glory. BE BLESSED!!
Thank You, Susan, for the love you carry for your Lord and Savior and His people.
Love you,
Christine A.

Susan,
I'm so glad we got to speak on the phone just now and wanted to share with others what we were speaking about. For those who don't know, I am a lifestyle and activities coordinator for a local memory care unit in Naples, Florida. Each Friday, after sitting down with my residents for tea and cookies, I bring out Susan's book, Tabernacle for a Shadow. I read the passages aloud and after each, I pass around the book to each of my residents so they can look at the beautiful photograph that is paired with each piece of scripture. It is always a bright spot in their day. They light up each time I bring the book out. They love hearing the scripture that is familiar and comforting to them, and the photographs give them something visually stimulating to look at. It is
a weekly activity that I look forward to because it is always successful. The residents leave happy and cheerful, and so do I. Thank you for this wonderful gift, and I hope others can benefit from it in the way that we have!
Warmest regards,

Thank you for sharing your website...what a blessing and nice compliment to the book! I love Tabernacle for a Shadow - the images are so beautiful and inspiring. Also, I realized I am only just beginning to understand the depth and power of this book - there is so much here to be revealed! And of course I am honored to know Susan (the author) personally. She has been more than a great friend - my mentor and the one who led me to Jesus! It has been a pleasure watching her embark on this journey, complete the book, and then share it with so many people. God is awesome!

Susan's representation of the Word of God in beautiful pictures of nature are inspiring and thought provoking. The awesome and creative power of our Lord are depicted of the Trinity, the voice of God and others - some leave you breathless, others draw you in deeper to a reservoir of peace and connecting the supernatural to the natural. Be blessed!

My sister bought the Tabernacle for a shadow last year from Mr. Cofield and offered it to me as a gift. I recently opened it and have been pleasantly surprised. It is a wonderful book. I was impressed by the jacket of the book and most of all by the author’s photographic gift making a picturesque presentation of the world and word of God. Each picture reaffirmed the existence of God and made me appreciate His wonders. This book certainly has a story behind it. It is a test of the author’s faith. This will be a great gift for family and friends. I have it on my coffee table at home and it is such an attractive book that people instinctively grab it to take a look. “God’s purposes are inscrutable.”

The book arrived today. Susan, I have taken a few minutes to enjoy its wonderful pages. At my home, it will be used daily because my boys have come to appreciate reading a scripture before each dinner. I will also share it with some friends to determine if their cohorts may be interested in it as a fundraiser. As the days go by, I will be able to fully experience what God gave you to share with the world. Your book has wings and should fly far in our world. Thanks again for ensuring its timely arrival.

Andre is now in Italy and has taken the book there, expanding our reach to other countries in the world. I thank Joseph Cofield for introducing me to Tabernacle for a Shadow. With a few copies, I was able to share it as gifts to friends in Japan. One of my friends is an amateur photographer and elementary school teacher. I knew she would love it because of her affinity for all the beauty that her eyes can see. I hope the book continues to have success.

Truly when we opened the box for the first time and found the book titled Tabernacle for a Shadow both of us thought it was a book of Geography. But as our minds tried to call upon different geographical features perhaps the book might have intended to explain, we came across biblical verses well summarized in the pictures against the verses.
I personally find the book to carry the whole message of the bible in two simplified ways of the verses and the pictures.
One thing that I find special with this book is that elders can get the whole message of the bible through reflection and children can get to know very well the creation story through pictures and the rest of the message in the same way. For elders who have not yet read the bible get the appetite of reading the good news of salvation in a very modern way through pondering on the earth as it is seen today when different nations meet in Denmark.
Today young people think to be bored by the big and black book as bible used to appear. So when a teacher or a father hold this book and call for a meeting always faces change because the appearance of the book signifies the old and boring message. But this book which takes a new shape has captured the interest of many to read it. Last Sunday I went with it in a small Christian Community during Bible session which is special for boys and girls between 7 and 11. In my contribution I asked the young men and women, What new shape of the Bible should be used in order to cultivate the art of reading the Bible? No one said anything until I showed them The Tabernacle For a Shadow.
Let us thank the Lord for having helped the youths to read the Bible through his messenger Susan. May God bless her and welcome her beloved Murray and Lloyd in his everlasting Kingdom

Thank you for creating this most beautiful book Tabernacle for a Shadow. My husband was very happy to get it as a present, but I think I'm the one who really, truly enjoys it.
I love the pictures... the most wonderful , talented photographer that you are! The Love of God is shining in them, even in the dark ones as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
I found out I'd like to go over and over again through the pages of your book, and then open the Bible and find the readings and see what was before and after the given reading. It feels like a taste that makes you want more and more... the living word, the love of God... the quenching of the Soul,... refreshing water pouring over dry land...Pure Joy!

The first time I laid eyes on the book “Tabernacle for a Shadow”, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it – literally.
I was so drawn to it and felt like I was obtaining a precious treasure. Not long after looking through the pages, I understood why I was so eager to have a copy. The thing that struck me the most was the spirit, literally the Holy Spirit. Susan’s prayer life, and every aspect of the book that the Lord led her to incorporate into the edition, oozed out at me, as scriptures that I had never noticed in the Bible came alive. I shared it with another couple, and they immediately contacted Susan to obtain several copies. The book has been a great blessing. Thank you Susan

This book, with its citations and pictures, is an excellent way to spread the Message of God. My hope is that it not only inspires each individual to pursue his or her own faith journey, but to also look at his or her neighbor and reach out in love, forgiveness, acceptance, and the virtues of humanity, justice, and peace. This book can easily be gifted to special people. My first book was given to my brother and his new wife for a blessed marriage, thus found itself in the Dominican Republic. My second book will be gifted to dear friend in Jerusalem when I take another group to visit the Holy Land this October. There is no doubt that this book can touch a human soul in a blessed way. God's peace to all. Christel Beldin, Phoenix, AZ, USA

Everyone says what a blessing Tabernacle for a Shadow is and continually thank me. I tell them it wasn't me, it was my friend Susan and God. Only a few left to bless people with. Everyone loves this book. The book you signed for Dick Green, he got cancer and he says he reads it every day. What a blessing you are to so many. Thank you. I think the times are tough and people use it to remind them of God's blessings. God is so Great!!!

Please visit this website www.tabernacleforashadow.com to see the most incredible book published by our dear friend Susan Conner. We were honored to purchase the first 100 books to Bless those we love and to share God's Glory. Susan is truly God's vessel here on earth and is doing His work. She is His true servant. Praise God!!! From the first moment we saw the beginning process of this book, we knew God's hand was upon it and would Bless the world for His Glory. Be Blessed and Know that you are Loved!!!!!
God has created us - spirit-soul-body and the author has captured our triune nature. Exercising our senses to God's beauty, with scriptural reflections, led by the Spirit of God, we are taken by the hand on a walk through the Bible. The walk can be bold from Genesis to Revelation or simply a delightful stroll to bring God's Word to feed us each day….

Well, God is the artist of the all things…every flower, every mountain, every snowflake...and He gave all of this to us, because He loves people…which He also created. The beauty of the photographs, and the clarity of detail in them, is truly done by an eye which appreciates all that the Lord has made. The best part is with the book " Tabernacle for a Shadow,” God's word is the words to the pictures, therefore, we can know the heart of the artist of all creation.

I sent one to my son in Austria because I thought it would help him in his work. (He’s a Christian minister and teacher) I sent one to my son in England (he’s a Christian singer/songwriter) and his wife thought it was very well done. I think it’s an encouraging fresh thought. I think people get stuck and Tabernacle for a Shadow is a way to take them away from the habitual way of looking at things. I’m sending one to my sister Janice in England. She will be so pleased and so surprised as she has no idea that I ordered one for her.

(Letter written to Joseph Cofield, International Marketing Director for Tabernacle for a Shadow)
Today I will take the time to write my impression about your book to you. Already for some weeks I am carrying the sentences I will write to you in my head: From the very first moment when I saw the book the “Tabernacle for a Shadow” and watched the impressing fotos of nature and read the matching and carefully selected parts from the Bible, I felt that this book moves something in me. This impression stays on every time I open it up and read it. Among the lots of books I read in my life are a few books who do the same, like Siddhartha of Hermann Hesse, Mutant Message Down Under of Marlo Morgan or Armenien Story Tellers by Wachtang Ananjan.
Meanwhile I handed out the book to my relatives in Dresden (Saxonia). A niece just came back from the United States where she stayed at a high school for one year. The whole family of my brother and sister-in-law (7 persons) will read it together. I gave them your e-mail address. They surely will contact you soon. Afterwards your book will travel to London where another nephew (based in Paluen Saxonia) lives. From there it will go back to Paluen (Saxonia) where a sister of my husband lives. The four children of this family are all able to read “your book.” Afterwards I am planning to hand the “Tabernacle for a Shadow” to friends here in Berlin. I hope you will receive lots of comments soon.
Much love,
Christine

... I watched the website of the book. I am very pleased and excited about the progress of the book. I find it very amazing to be connected with lots of other people round the world by a book. Not only just by some book. We all share that we feel impressed by a beautiful and carefully arranged book based on the Bible of God. "My" book is still in Saxonia in the hands of my relatives...

What a beautiful gift!!! I have just looked at the introduction and some parts of it but it is an impressive work by that woman!! She really used her photographic gift in making this a pictorial presentation of the Word of God! I shall enjoy reading and meditating on the Scripture passages which come to life because of the pictures!!! All I can say is –“Thank You and May God Bless You Now and Forever, Amen.”

Susan's book is beautifully, and very professionally, put together. I take it she took all the photographs herself--and they fit so well with their accompanying Bible verses. Do you know if she has any future projects in the works?
