Author Description

A beautiful representation of The Book of Philippians--a pastoral and caring letter inviting all of humanity to live with humility and perseverance. This book paints the quality of humility, not merely as modesty or shyness, but as deep care for other people--doing nothing out of selfish ambition but instead holding others' interests over our own and valuing others above ourselves. It acknowledges living a humble life is not easy; it first and foremost requires an awareness of Jesus' love and presence. Furthermore, humility is a process. No one can live a life of "perfect" humility, but it is still something to press on towards--a race we endure with perseverance (Phil. 3:12-14). 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 Philippians 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.
