What is beauty?

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 beauty 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: 

1. On Beauty and Art
2. On Beauty and Identity
3. On Beauty and Generosity
4. On Beauty and Vulnerability
5. On Beauty and Mystery
6. On Beauty and Justice
7. On Beauty and Changing the World

Design aspects: This book is softcover, 160 pages, perfect bound, and printed in full color on uncoated paper in Canada. The dimensions are 6.5 in x 8.5 in.

How do we experience rest? Our new book explores this question and its qualities for our lives, rhythms, and conventions today. 

God rests. From the very beginning, rest is marked with sacred significance among all of creation. God calls individuals and communities alike into lives, rhythms, and conventions of rest. More than a mere afternoon nap, rest is a holy orientation and divine chronology that completes life as we know it. Just as God rests, we rest with God.

This book is meant to move us towards rest, into recovering its wisdom and consequence in our lives. As we contemplate and practice these many qualities of rest, may our personal lives be rejuvenated, our families strengthened, and our communities reoriented towards justice and peace. And may we rest with God. Amen. 

Chapters include: 

1. Rest & God
   
2. Rest & Awareness
   
3. Rest & Resilience
4. Rest & Play
5. Rest & Community
6. Rest & Pace
7. Rest & Changing the World

Creative reflections through the liturgical structure

A printed version of this is available as part of our book, All That Is Made.

From books, to podcasts, to churches, to sermons, to everyday conversation—Christians are talking about liturgy. But what does it mean when we talk about liturgy in the context of a creative life with God? Derived from the Greek word, leitourgia, liturgy translates directly to “work of the people.” Liturgy is our public work of faith. Practically, this tends to look like ordered, structured prayers and statements of faith read together in the context of a community or church.

We use this liturgical structure to guide artists, entrepreneurs, and makers in spiritual reflection on the role of the creative in the flourishing of humanity. May this guide you in shaping a compelling public faith for your creative life and provide a framework for participating in the creative “work of the people.”
