Beauty Quote by Rod Dreher
““The lesson here is that in an era in which logical reason is doubted and even dismissed, and the heart's desire is glorified by popular culture, the most effective way to evangelize is by helping people experience beauty and goodness. From that starting point, we help them to grasp the truth that all beauty and goodness emanate from the eternal God, who loves us and wants to be in relationship with us.””
