Welcome to Truth & Beauty!

     This website strives to promote what is true, beautiful, noble, uplifting, inspiring and helpful -- whatever its source may be. Its purpose is to be a spiritual oasis providing rest, inspiration, edification, and refreshment to weary travellers through life. 

    The Truth section contains edifying information and wisdom for life -- both physical and spiritual. Information is grouped under several categories and comes from various sources -- religious as well as secular. There are also references to other sources and websites that may be helpful.

  In the Beauty section, several photo galleries display the beauty of nature and art, with another segment featuring beauty in word and deed. (For more images of nature and art, visit my father's website www.henrydegen.com.)

     The Free Downloads combines truth and beauty in creative picture/text files featuring nuggets of truth surrounded by the beauty of nature. Feel free to download one or more of the PDF files for personal edification or sharing with friends.

     For a more detailed overview of features and articles, go to Site Map.

     The site content obviously reflects the author's thinking and preferences. It is realized that just as beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, truth is also subjective, and no one is in possession of complete truth about anything. However, various perspectives, albeit partial perceptions of truth, can enrich the equally partial perceptions of others.

    Therefore browse, evaluate, and take what will be of help to you. May you leave edified, inspired and refreshed with a desire to visit again.

Beauty is truth, truth is beauty,
that is all ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know.
John Keats

Beauty is truth's smile when she beholds her face in a perfect mirror.
Rabindranath Tagore

As you look at God's craftsmanship in nature and the heavens,
thank God for such magnificent beauty and the truth 
it reveals about the Creator.
Living Application Bible, p. 890
