About this event

  • 2 hours

Join us as we celebrate the release of Beauty Is Oxygen by Wes Vander Lugt, director of the Leighton Ford Initiative in Theology, the Arts, and Gospel Witness at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.

In this book, Dr. Vander Lugt contends that beauty is oxygen for a life of faith, hope, and love because it comes from the lungs of God. This wild and wondrous beauty cannot be used, purchased, or achieved; it must be encountered, witnessed, and recieved.

The evening will include a gallery opening featuring work by several local artists, live music, readings from the book, and time for open dialogue. Hardback copies of Beauty Is Oxygen will be available for $20 (cash, check, or Venmo).
