Author Description

A beautiful representation of The Book of Jeremiah--a distressing, yet vital book, on finding meaning out of exile, trauma, and tragedy while exploring God's sovereignty amidst it all. The words of the prophet Jeremiah are a people's collective journey of making theological meaning out of the trauma and tragedy that resulted from the destruction of their society and the exile from a land they called home. The book weaves and explores a theme that ends in a hopeful tone God's sovereignty. While reflecting on the text, many of the themes and words are often relevant to the human experience today. 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 Jeremiah 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.
