“In this book, Winfield Bevins shows us what beauty really is, and what it really does. This book will help you to see past an often-ugly age to a gospel that is not just good and true but also shockingly beautiful.”
Russell Moore, editor-in-chief, Christianity Today

“This book is a manifesto for a new renaissance, compelling us to embody the gospel through imagination and creativity. Winfield Bevins delivers a timely vision we cannot afford to ignore.”
Alan Hirsch, author; founder, Movement Leaders Collective

“Winfield Bevins has not only founded what is now a flourishing organization (Creo Arts); he has given us a book as well, and one that is readable, probing, and perceptive. It will doubtless inspire and energize any who feel drawn to be a part of the renaissance of faith and art in our time.”
Jeremy Begbie, Duke University

Description

“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.
