"For anyone coming from or living in Christian tradition who wants to understand the Tarot, start here. Gil Stafford brings together a history of Tarot, and understanding of its use in Christian traditions, and how it has increasingly grown in significance in the toolbox of spiritual directors and companions walking with the spiritually minded and those in contemplative practice." -Lil Copan, columnist and author of Little Hours: A Novel

"Beautiful, generative, loving, and deep: this may be the wisest Tarot book ever written. Gil Stafford finds the folly of the Cross in the journey of the Fool, and reminds us that 'Life is a pilgrimage on the path of wisdom's way.'" --Lisa Freinkel Tishman, author of Mindful Tarot

"Gil Stafford has become my preferred guide to the woo and the weird, both of which are inseparable from Christian faith. His The Bible and the Tarot is an essential companion in my own spiritual practice. I love the way he approaches both stories as a human quest to discover the Divine." --Jessica Mesman, associate editor, Christian Century

"Stafford is not the first Christian theologian to write about the Tarot, but he may be the first to do so under his own name. Tarot cards are typically thought by Christians to be taboo, like Ouija boards. . . . The result is a book many Christians will probably read in secret. . . . The final chapter is worth the price of admission by itself: 'The Practice of Reading the Bible and the Tarot.'" --Jon M. Sweeney, SpiritualityandPractice.com
