WINFIELD’S LATEST BOOK:
How Beauty Will Save the World
Recovering the Power of the Arts for the Christian Life
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.

Liturgical Mission
The Work of the People for the Life of the World
Modern missional movements have often viewed the historic Christian traditions with suspicion. The old traditions may be beautiful, the thinking goes, but they’re too insular, focused primarily on worship and on the interior life of the church, and not looking outward to evangelism and good works.
