Author Description

A beautiful representation of The Book of James--a fiery exhortation, inviting humans to live with wisdom and endurance in the world. This biblical letter paints a picture of a life teeming with meaning, declaring that we are most alive when doing the things of faith. It acknowledges that the human experience is full of trials and hardships, but sees all of these tribulations as an opportunity to develop endurance and teleios: a Greek work meaning completeness, perfection, full of integrity. May we let wisdom disrupt our lives and be a beacon for how we treat one another; and may it move us into a life of faith--filled with action. 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 James 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. Alabaster combines thoughtful design, artistic photography, and original biblical texts to create inspiring products for the Instagram and TikTok generation. Alabaster has quickly become one of the fastest-growing private companies in California according to Inc Magazine. Alabaster invites you to lean in and take a closer look at beauty and faith, evoking feelings and thoughtful reflection.
