In Search of Beautiful (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781545672594)

God is the ultimate creator. His hand can be seen everywhere. Many people, especially today in our non-stop world, search for God frantically and anywhere, yet do not realize that He is all around us. We lose Him in the busyness, in the crowds, in the media, in the distractions, and even in the faces of others created in His image. Everything we see in our natural world that delights and inspires comes from the same source: God. He in the nature that surrounds us. He is in the people who walk by us every day. He is everywhere--we need only look.

Through his book, author Damian L. Boyd helps to open our eyes to see God in everything and how we worship Him by recognizing that beauty. He is beauty incarnate, and so all things that come from Him are beautiful. When we get small moments of recognition of His presence around us, we are drawn back to the pursuit that first caught our eye. The more we see the Lord, the more we want Him

This is a worship book without using the obvious tool, music, for worship. We have come to depend on music heavily in our twenty-first century world. Instead, we can worship the Lord by noticing and appreciating the beauty He has instilled in the world. Do not let society's conditioning diminish your knowledge of the Lord and His wonderous creations. Do not let society's standard of beauty ruin your ability to see the amazing originality that comes from the flaws of another. Remember, we are all created in the Lord's perfect image.

Learn to see the beauty in brokenness. Discover how to recognize the good in evil. Dive in and gain the perspective to see God in everything. He is around us and with us always.
