Beauty Is Your Destiny: How the Promise of Splendor Changes Everything

By Philip Graham Ryken

An Examination of Beauty in the Christian Life from Philip Ryken

The world is full of beautiful things--the vibrancy of trees in fall, the joy of sitting around a table with family--but in our fallen world, many beautiful things have been turned into ugly distortions. How should Christians think about beauty in a world that is often ugly?

In Beauty Is Your Destiny, Philip Ryken provides readers with an introduction to the theology and practice of beauty, striving to awaken a longing for beauty that he explains "can only be satisfied in the face of Jesus Christ." Adapted from chapel messages given at Wheaton College, Ryken considers key topics on Christian thought--including the Trinity, the incarnation, sexuality, and racial diversity--through the lens of beauty, showing how beauty illuminates each of these biblical principles in our world today.
