How should Christians think about beauty in a world that is often ugly? \n \nIn 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 thoughtincluding the Trinity, the incarnation, sexuality, and racial diversitythrough the lens of beauty, showing how beauty illuminates each of these biblical principles in our world today. \n
