Summary
Details

Engage with God's undying heart for beauty.

While we all live in the tension between everyday life and the high artistry of God, the Church doesn't often acknowledge this inward tension. Those of us who connect most deeply with God through beauty, creativity, and pure expression can therefore struggle to feel a true sense of belonging in the greater body of believers. But the truth is, when we engage in different forms of artistic expression-literature, painting, film, music, poetry-we grow in our understanding of the breadth, joy, and boundless creativity of our Creator. Bordering Kingdoms, a compilation of essays chosen by the founder of Ekstasis, Conor Sweetman, is for those who often feel unseen or unknown in the Body of Christ. Through this work's intimate invitations into art, poetry, writing, and the considered life, these readers will be propelled deeper into their own creative process alongside God. In this collection, the reader will be encouraged to experience God's:

High artistry Creativity Passion for beauty Joyful engagement Heart for creation

Bordering Kingdoms will lead you into that mysterious borderland between this world and the Kingdom of Heaven, a place where we experience the peace and joy of God's artistic heart, a place where we are invited to explore the journey of our own God-given creativity.
