Life: Beautiful

I picked up a copy of Life:Beautiful magazine, and it is so good I wanted to share and recommend it to you.  It has been out for about one year but is only published quarterly so you may or may not have seen it.  The photography is fabulous.  The stories are inspiring and from a Christian perspective.  One of the best things about it is that, currently, there are no advertisements in it.  So, you aren't paying for a magazine that is 80%+ advertising.  They can be found at Barnes & Noble and Borders among other places.  Please go out and grab a copy.  It is definitely money well spent.  I will be getting a subscription.  Here is a taste of what's inside.  (All photos and magazine summary below were taken from their website.)
