Meeting Beauty

In book six, Meeting Beauty, the Lord astounds them again. The new Truth & Beauty Gallery is wonderful—it does indeed bring the Presence of the Lord into the Historic District of Taos. But if they think that's all there is, they better catch a seat and hang on. This is spiritual life in the Kingdom of God—and His definition of life goes far beyond what's seen these days. The Windrushs and Chibittys think everything is under control. The gallery's complete and they can simply supervise its growth and expansion. True! But do they have any idea what the Creator will do when He's given a chance? The power of faith and obedience is far beyond what is seen in the America of the 21st century. Who would've thought the troublemakers are the old woodworker and his wife? Actually, you should have figured it out in the first book. But this all goes far beyond what they had imagined also. The Lord has some severely damaged creative types who He plans to redeem and recreate. He brings them in from all over. He gets them born from God, intensely mentored, and then sets them to work. But see what happens when they believe what they're told, trust in the One who is able, and step out in faith and obedience—with some fear and trembling. It's really fun and edifying. It's a ride like you secretly hoped was going to happen when you met Jesus. That's what should have happened, but like me, you didn't believe enough.
