With more than 850 pieces of original artwork, Ruth Chou Simons’ newest book, Beholding and Becoming, is destined to become an heirloom classic.

This beautifully illustrated book is an intimate exploration of the many ways we can experience God more fully in our ordinary lives.Beholding and Becoming - Ruth Chou Simons Beholding and Becoming is more than just a book, it is also a work of art. Interspersed among Simons’ words are more than 850 beautiful pieces of original artwork done in Simons’ classic watercolours. The artful meditations are designed to be used as beautiful reminders to reflect on God’s work in everyday life and serve as a point of transition between what we believe and know.

“My desire with this project,” said Simons, “Was to surprise and wow the reader by providing an innovative way to become what we hold by fixing our eyes on what Scripture ultimately calls us to–engaging with God’s eternal purposes.”

Simons challenges readers to turn their eyes from quick fixes, self-help, and the filtered highlight reels of social media. Instead, she calls them to look to Christ to be transformed by setting their hearts, minds, and affections on Him, whatever their present circumstances may be.
