Great works of art can speak to the soul in a unique way. Rembrandt Is in the Wind is an invitation to discover some of the world's most celebrated artists and works and how each of them illuminates something about God, people, and the purpose of life. Part art history, part biblical study, part philosophy, and part analysis of the human experience, this book is nonetheless all story.

Growing older is inevitable and, as we often say, it beats the alternative. But just because we age does not mean we must give in to a slow deterioration of our bodies, minds, social circles, and interests. It doesn't mean we need to give up on our dreams, goals, or aspirations. In fact, as people live longer and healthier into old age, we need to decide what we want to do with all the extra years we've been given!

I know that inner space well—the one where you feel like you’re always too much… or never enough. You’re surrounded by people, yet you feel exposed. It only takes a word, a glance, a subtle shift in the air… and everything inside you starts to vibrate. You absorb. You sense. You feel. Even what others deny. Even what no one dares to say.
