We have been on a journey chasing after and learning about beauty this last month. I hope your soul has been awakened to beauty in a profound way. I know mine has! Thank you for joining me along the journey!

God has been leading me on this journey of chasing beauty for the last two years in order to understand it, perceive it, and create it.

I thought it might serve you to let you in on what books have most deeply shaped my view of beauty the last couple years. May these five truths, quotes and books bless and encourage you as you continue to chase beauty in your own life! I hope they awaken your soul to beauty as they did mine.
