If there is righteousness in the heart,
there will be beauty in the character.
If there is beauty in the character,
there will be harmony in the home.
If there is harmony in the home,
there will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
there will be peace in the world.
So let it be
Scottish Blessing

It's In the Bible by Francois Maurice  | |
New book by a St. John's, Chula Vista parishioner.
|
A parishioner at St. John's, Chula Vista recently published a new book titled, It's In the Bible. The book is full of colorful, non-realistic illustrations depicting different Bible stories.
"My illustrations are intended to evoke curiosity in the Word," writes the author, Francois Maurice. "The texture and context of the written Word is rich, often mysterious, simple and complex. I have tried to illustrate these truths in my drawings."
The book is available for purchase at Xulon Press.
"As a member of the clergy, I am always looking for new and creative ways to promote Biblical values and content," writes the Rev. George Keith, retired rector of St. John's, "Occasionally a spark of godly inspiration enables the Biblical message to reach us in a deeper, creatively meaningful way. Francois Maurice has such inspiration."
Congratulations, Francois!
