How Beauty Will Save the World

"Beauty will save the world." --Fyodor Dostoyevsky
But what kind of beauty--and how?
In How Beauty Will Save the World, Winfield Bevins invites us to reclaim the power of beauty in a culture dulled by distraction and disconnection. Blending theology, personal story, and a vision for a new renaissance of Christian artistry, Bevins shows how beauty--natural, artistic, and redemptive--can heal our lives, renew the church, and revive our hope.
This isn't just a book for artists--it's a call to every believer to live artfully, reflect the glory of the Creator, and become "missionaries of beauty." With stories of musicians, painters, poets, and unexpected artists in ordinary places, Bevins reveals the sacred potential in everyday creativity--whether through a paintbrush or a dinner table, a cathedral or a country road.
From Sarajevo to small-town Arkansas, How Beauty Will Save the World captures a quiet, creative uprising of faith, rooted in rest, imagination, and a gospel that is not only true and good--but breathtakingly beautiful.
Come and see. Create and believe. Join the renaissance.
