Reading God’s Way of Staying Beautiful is like relearning the definition of love, beyond the optics of a broken lens made more shattered by the frenzy of a world drenched in the momentarity of social media cycle of validation and canceling. The author creates a collage of losses, scars and griefs, flips them into a consciousness of agape, a love that defies the storms life always throws at us. Without undue imposition of the spiritual or religious, this beautiful collection is an inquisition into the existential and essentialist, the very core of our humanity, devoid of the vanity of cosmetics and embellishments. A great read!
