These pictures were taken over a span of several years and many countless hours of trying to get the one shot that would capture the beauty that's all around us. It started when I bought my first digital camera to take on vacation. It quickly turned into seeing so much beauty that I always had my camera handy to get that perfect sunset, amazing cloud formation or wave crashing on the beach. I did this book by the grace of God. He supplied me with the money to make it happen and he had one of my best friends push me to publish my photos. I just didn't think it would happen, but when God wants you to do something, he doesn't let up until you listen. For me, taking pictures of God's creations has helped me feel closer to him and to see how blessed I am to have him in my life. I hope you sit and just really enjoy the book as much as I do and to really just see God's Beauty not only in this book but all around each day that you're going to work, driving the kids to school, or just running errands. You can find peace in what you see. Remember, God loves you, and there is nothing you can't do when you let go and let God! #BeABlessing #SmileAtStrangers #BeTheChange

Why is God's beauty often absent from our theology? Rarely do theologians take up the theme of God's beauty—even more rarely do they consider how God's beauty should shape the task of theology itself. But the psalmist says that the heart of the believer's desire is to behold the beauty of the Lord. In The Beauty of the Lord, Jonathan King restores aesthetics as not merely a valid lens for theological reflection, but an essential one. Jesus, our incarnate Redeemer, displays the Triune God's beauty in his actions and person, from creation to final consummation. How can and should theology better reflect this unveiled beauty? The Beauty of the Lord is a renewal of a truly aesthetic theology and a properly theological aesthetics.

"He is the radiance of the glory of God..." - Hebrews 1:3The most glorious news in all of reality is that the God for whom we--and all things--exist is communicated to his creation with definitive authority in the incarnate Son (John1:14,18), and with climactic finality in the revelatory redemption of the cross (John 8:28, 17:1,5). Knowing and enjoying the One True God in the crucified and risen Jesus is the wellspring of our love (1 John 4:19), the substance of our sanctification (2 Corinthians 3:18), and the heart of eternal life (John 17:3), and this book is an attempt to help you do just that. "Full of Eyes" is a daily devotional containing 100 examples of visual exegesis. Each picture is designed to help you see, savor, and sing the beauty of God in his crucified and risen Son. As the Scripture in this book illuminates the pictures so that the pictures can shine back to exegete the Scripture, may you be ever more deeply enamored with the all satisfying excellence of who God has declared himself to be for us in Jesus.

Before Martha started this book, she felt that her writing was self-therapeutic for her struggles. After she wrote about her experiences in college and all of the lessons that she learned, she wanted to share them with others who were facing similar hardships. This book is a collection of Martha’s experiences and observations from childhood until her first year after college graduation. It contains life lessons and personal opinions on controversial topics, such as relationships, sex, religion, pop culture, and human values. The pieces are not in chronological order. They vary according to Martha’s mentality when she wrote them. The biggest message that she wants her readers to get out of this book is that life can be really hard, but the challenges ultimately lead to strength, humility, and a greater appreciation for every blessing.
