Author Description

A beautiful representation of The Book of Ephesians--an invitation towards unity and peace, brought together as God's covenant family. Even amidst diverse ethnic and cultural identities or various socioeconomic statuses, this text is a call to recognize how we are all one body, unified by Jesus' resurrection as God's covenant family. It is as this new family that we are invited to a new kind of living, one where we are humble and gentle towards one another, patient and kind to all, and bound together by peace--all guided by the Spirit. We each have a role to play in this family, and we all have special gifts through the generosity of Christ to help humanity flourish. Alabaster's approach reimagines the entire experience of the book. Incorporating images that illuminate the themes and messages of the text, this book will help the reader engage scripture in a fresh way. The Book of Ephesians in the New Living Translation (NLT) is great for Bible studies, church groups, or individual devotional times. Alabaster creates with the reader in mind--including careful use of negative space, legible typefaces, and layouts that allow a thoughtful exploration between text and images.
