Tales of Transformation:
Beauty and Discipleship in an Age of Anxiety
We live in an age of anxiety. Teetering between the extraordinary creative and destructive powers of the human race, we seek to live our lives as disciples of Christ. Beauty, as expressed in the fine arts, craftsmanship, and human creativity itself, provides us with stories of transformation that offer hope and liberation. In so doing, beauty enlivens our collective journey as the body of Christ.
