ABOUT THIS PROJECT

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth”
“God saw everything that He had made and behold, it was very good"
Genesis 1: 1,31

In 1999 Pope Saint John Paul II encouraged all artists to pursue their God-given passions and gifting,
“that through art, souls might be lifted up from the world of the senses to the eternal’ –

And so, this has been my vision and hope in compiling this stunning volume of exquisite nature pictures and uplifting
Christian quotes – that you too may be enriched and stirred as you gaze into the face of the beauty of God….

MY INSPIRATION

My name is Tanya Le Grange and I live in Cape Town, South Africa.

As far back as I can remember, I’ve always had a great yearning for all things beautiful – stunning scenery, the smell of a pine forest, creative art, poetry, slow melancholic music that stirs, the sounds of a trickling stream or the lovely twitters of songbirds. Actually, anything that would draw me closer to nature and to my heavenly Father above.

Louie Giglio once said: “That God is always seeking you. Every sunset. Every clear blue sky. Each ocean wave. The starry hosts of night. He blankets each new day with the invitation, “‘I am here” – This spoke to me. So thought why not buy a book of nature pictures so that I could feel God’s presence in a visually striking way?

I searched for something similar, but couldn’t find anything anywhere. And this is how I came to create ‘Glorious Splendour’ - in the quest to inspire myself.

 

Yes, I think, (judging by the world according to Google and Amazon) that this is the first time in history something like
this has ever been done before - and I am really proud of that.  I’ve worked super hard on this, spending hundreds of
hours on research, wading through more than 5 000+ images, quotes and narrations to produce this glorious picture
book with uplifting quotes.

The project is completed, but in saying this - I would now like to bless others and donate the fruits of my labour to folks
of low means; reaching hospices and women’s shelters and those less fortunate, to inspire hope for generations to
come.

I love this quote by Mother Theresa -"I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to
create many ripples”

Praying you will open your hearts, support this endeavour, and journey with me to be part of this grand epic adventure,
so that God may ultimately be glorified in the end.

Yours, in Christ

Tanya

THE TEAM

This project would not have been made possible without the efforts too of my freelance designers Tracy & Anine.

Tracy – Gosh,  Jill of all trades – Graphic Designer, Web Designer, Court Jester… J (we’ve come a long way girl, maybe working together for the past 15 years and some). She’s the night owl, always cheerful with a generous smile and a pleasant disposition and has stayed up with me till many a wee hour of the morning to finish projects and meet print deadlines. Thanks, T

Anine – The absolute perfectionist (like me). Takes pride in her work, quite meticulous about everything she does and has a conscientious attitude towards her work.

Both artists are very good. Both quite different – and very much needed to balance out the different design demands (when they’re not busy firing me for asking them to “do it again” for the 100^th time). I would be tickled pink to pass their details on should you require a designer for your projects.

Then there’s Gina – my lovely, quiet, trusty right-hand lady, assisting me with the behind-the-scenes things. Helping me with the “flow” as so to speak and doing the things I haven’t had time to do. Thank ya lass for looking out for me.

THE FUNDS

Although these books have already been already printed, I am now needing extra funds for the distribution costs, packaging and all the other extra’s to do outreach to others. Any additional funds will be used to produce more, to reach more.

How You Can Help

Your support is very important to us. The more people we reach who contribute, the greater our chances of success.  And-Every-Little-Bit-Helps!

Financial contributions are obviously a good way to help us achieve our goals, but if you do not have the means, please share, share, share, all you can and to whom you can. We need lots of eyes to see this campaign and referrals are always gold.

You can also join our Facebook and Instagram pages so that when we place posts, you can share these to your network and/or tag others.

If there are any social media geniuses out there that want to donate their time in doing some kingdom work and can use your expertise to market this further, we would be most grateful for that.

Also pray for us too, because God answers prayers, and ultimately He has the final say on how this will all pan out in the end.

Thanking you all in advance for what you are about to do. May God bless you abundantly for your kindness.
