About this ebook
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER ● PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER
Ruth is such a gift to us—her voice is strong and honest, yet believably grace-filled and kind. We learn and grow into who we want to be when Ruth's words and art lead us.

Become What You Behold
You are in the process of becoming. Every day is an opportunity to be shaped and formed by what moves your heart…drives your thoughts…captures your gaze. Is it any wonder that where you direct your eyes and your heart matter in your day-to-day?
We become what we behold when we set our hearts and minds on Christ and His redemption story here in the details of our daily lives. Not just on Sunday, not just on holidays, not just when extraordinarily hard or wonderful things happen…but today.
Bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons invites you on a new journey to Beholding and Becoming. With more than 850 pieces of intricate, original artwork, Ruth encourages you to elevate your gaze to the One who created all things.
Today is an opportunity for God to demonstrate His love and His faithfulness in the midst of your mundane. No circumstance is too ordinary or too forgotten for Him to meet you there in worship. His transforming grace turns your “everyday ordinary” into a holy place of becoming.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I just finished going through this book and I enjoyed it so much. It was encouraging, convicting, and very applicable to my life as a Christian woman. Plus, in true Ruth Chou Simons fashion the illustration was gorgeous and so visually appealing.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It’s my second time through this book and it was just as wonderful as the first time. This book is a balm for the soul; a place to stop and rest and meditate on God’s truths while also enjoying the beauty of the artwork in the book inspired by nature.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love everything about it - her examples really click, her honesty, the tone, the scriptures, the art, the quotes - all beautifully woven together in a volume that really engages your mind and heart to behold Christ and become like Him.
