Beauty Is Your Destiny

An Examination of Beauty in the Christian Life from Philip Ryken The world is full of beautiful things—the vibrancy of trees in fall, the joy of sitting around a table with family—but in our fallen world, many beautiful things have been turned into ugly distortions. How should Christians think about beauty in a world that is often ugly? In Beauty Is Your Destiny, Philip Ryken provides readers with an introduction to the theology and practice of beauty, striving to awaken a longing for beauty that he explains "can only be satisfied in the face of Jesus Christ." Adapted from chapel messages given at Wheaton College, Ryken considers key topics on Christian thought—including the Trinity, the incarnation, sexuality, and racial diversity—through the lens of beauty, showing how beauty illuminates each of these biblical principles in our world today. Introduction to the Theology of Beauty: Great for college students, pastors, and small groups Biblically Based: Examines how beauty is seen in Christian doctrines such as eternity, the church, and the crucifixion Written by Philip Ryken: President of Wheaton College and author of Grace Transforming; Is Jesus the Only Way?; and Loving the Way Jesus Loves

Every human decides his own destiny. We cannot choose our birthplace but we definitely can decide our final destiny. Your background is not important but your daily thought, actions and attitude are. Begin with your end in mind by forming good daily habits, practice stoicism and seeking continuous improvement. Have the courage to fail in order to succeed by choosing a path that fulfill your deepest passion. Build your circle of positive social network and thrive on it to achieve your goal by mastering the skills in interpersonal relationship. Seek to achieve happiness by daily gratification and practicing mindfulness, always looking at the good of others and in your surroundings by living in the present moment. Learn to say No to things that are not important so that you can channel your energy and precious time to focus on things that really matter in your life. Always be self-reliant and assume responsibility to take ownership of your life and destiny. Imagine in your mind the big vision that others dare not dream of and stand by it till you achieve it. Success and happiness including financial freedom will be within reach if all the above can be performed.
