Herbert - Whitefield - Lewis
In the sixth volume of the Swans Are Not Silent series, John Piper celebrates the importance of poetic effort by looking at three influential Christians whose words magnificently display a commitment to truth and a love of beauty.
Examining the lives of George Herbert, George Whitefield, and C. S. Lewis, Piper helps us appreciate the importance of carefully crafted words by exploring how Christians can use them to testify to God's glory, wonder at his grace, and rejoice in his salvation.
Whether exploring Herbert's moving poetry, Whitefield's dramatic preaching, or Lewis's imaginative writing, this book highlights the importance of Christ-exalting eloquence in our praise of God and proclamation of his gospel.

And it is indeed true. When we soak in the Word, we see His beauty and that beauty is expressed in our own daily words.

I cannot believe how wonderful this was. Such a powerful work about how these men from ages past used their gifts by grace to glorify God more, because their gifts were beautiful, and they knew to use them.
This book, is beautiful.

It was very interesting to see each man's way of "seeing beautiful and seeing beautifully". They were so different, but still so alike.
As a Christian with a proclivity for aesthetic endeavours this was a very encouraging listen. Beauty is really a God glorifying goal in itself!
(the narration was pleasant as well!)
