More than fifty years ago scientists made a remarkable discovery. proclaiming, "We have found the secret of life … and it's so pretty!" The secret? That life's biological code is helical, two strands surrounding a single axis–the foundation for DNA.
Yet it was thousands of years ago when God first shared an even deeper, and more poignant, secret.
Just as DNA's three strands make life possible, three other elements work in harmony to make life not just pretty, but beautiful. And it's in the church where we find the greatest expression, the ultimate fulfillment, of these three components to a beautiful life.
Renowned professor and theologian Leonard Sweet presents an extraordinary look at life as it was intended. In this landmark work, Sweet shares the secret of God's design for the Creator's people, three interwoven elements that form the heart, soul, and calling of the Christian life. Far from a novel concept, far from a new idea, and perhaps far from the congregations of today. So Beautiful boldly declares God's original plan for his church.
