The Purple Curtain


Book Description

What's beautiful? Beauty sells. From today's vantage point beauty is defined by personal tastes and popular opinions. But in God's eyes, what is true beauty? If the Bible could define what beauty is, what would the outcome be? In The Purple Curtain, pastor Brian Chan examines beauty from a biblical perspective and how it affects our relationship with God. Chan contends that understanding true beauty can change broken people as they discover more of God's loveliness and-in turn-grow to love Him more. He explores cultural ideas about beauty from historical and contemporary philosophers, artists, writers, films, art, and stories. Readers will learn how they can recognize authentic beauty daily and will be challenged to make beauty out of brokenness as they grow in God's love and as witnesses of Christ.
