Shalom, a curation of beauty in the midst of spiritual formation is a collection of images, scriptures and promptings that lays a biblical foundation for understanding the concept of spiritual formation through culinary arts, beauty, interior design, fashion and health.

This coffee table book, that also serves as a 40 day devotional, offers one to become intentional to follow the way of Jesus in both the beauty and the pain that life brings. The heart and prayer of Shalom is that one will meditate on the writings and images while taking the time in silence and solitude to become more aware of the presence and goodness of Jesus in their own soul.

"May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." -1 Thessalonians 5:23
