Wesley Vander Lugt will be at The Schaeffer House on Friday, August 23rd to speak about his new book, Beauty is Oxygen. In this book, Dr. Vander Lugt contends that beauty is oxygen for a life of faith, hope, and love because it comes from the lungs of God. This wild and wondrous beauty cannot be used, purchased, or achieved; it must be encountered, witnessed, and received.
