Drawn By Beauty

Description

Wonder and awe of the beautiful is essential to the human experience. Our souls are often shaped and formed by the aesthetic experiences provided by the Creator. When we neglect this aspect of our lives, we fail to realize how God has created us uniquely to not only enjoy beauty, but to also create the beautiful. A distinctly Christian vision of these realities opens our eyes to see how God has enchanted our world to draw us toward Him, the source and substance of beauty, for a deeper experience of the Christian life. In Drawn by Beauty: Awe and Wonder in the Christian Life, pastor and theologian Matthew Z. Capps points to the reality that our spirits are formed by God through the beautiful experiences that he offers. This book is a call to not only acknowledge the effect that beauty has on the human spirit, but it is an appreciation of the obviously divine presence in the things of this world that are truly awe inspiring.
