On Beauty and Faith - Paperback

by Alabaster Co (Author)

As we encounter and discover God, we are inevitably led to further unpack our sense of beauty and its meaning for our faith-lives.

As a culture, we often describe God as true and good. We use the descriptor of beautiful less often―and we struggle to articulate the intuitive relationship between it and the things of God: calling, spirituality, mission, and more. This book is designed to bridge the gap. Through the story of Mark 14:1-11, "The Story of the Woman with the Alabaster Jar," this book explores beauty and its profound implications for our lives.

Chapters include:

• On Beauty and Art
• On Beauty and Identity
• On Beauty and Generosity
• On Beauty and Vulnerability
• On Beauty and Mystery
• On Beauty and Justice
• On Beauty and Changing the World
