Book of Romans (Hc, Nlt)
A beautiful representation of The Book of Romans--a history-shaping text on experiencing unity, family, and righteousness within the early Church. Throughout this book, vast and lofty theological concepts are described and illuminated in an approachable way, demonstrating that the good news of Jesus is for all people. Romans was written to a community of believers as an encouragement--a springboard into a life spent in pursuit of the beauty and peace God desires for humanity. 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 Romans 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.
All That Is Made
Creating comes out of the reality that all that is made is from God and our makings come from the larger backdrop of God's creative canvas. This book is the culmination of creative reflections from Alabaster's lived experiences as a company. We are invited to participate in all that is made through our creating. We are invited to create through the lens of imaging new possibilities, believing in generosity, advocating for others, contemplating mystery, and pushing through failure. We are invited to create good and beautiful things in the world. This small, beautiful book maintains Alabaster's aesthetic sensibilities--featuring imagery and design that complements and engages the written reflections.
On Beauty and Faith
As we encounter and discover God, we are inevitably led to further unpack our sense of beauty and its meaning for our faith-lives. As a culture, we often describe God as true and good. We use the descriptor of beautiful less often―and we struggle to articulate the intuitive relationship between it and the things of God: calling, spirituality, mission, and more. This book is designed to bridge the gap. Through the story of Mark 14:1-11, "The Story of the Woman with the Alabaster Jar," this book explores beauty and its profound implications for our lives. Chapters include: On Beauty and Art On Beauty and Identity On Beauty and Generosity On Beauty and Vulnerability On Beauty and Mystery On Beauty and Justice On Beauty and Changing the World 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.
Towards Rest
God rests. From the very beginning, rest is marked with sacred significance among all of creation. God calls individuals and communities alike into lives, rhythms, and conventions of rest. More than a mere afternoon nap, rest is a holy orientation and divine chronology that completes life as we know it. Just as God rests, we rest with God. This book is meant to move us towards rest, into recovering its wisdom and consequence in our lives. As we contemplate and practice these many qualities of rest, may our personal lives be rejuvenated, our families strengthened, and our communities reoriented towards justice and peace. And may we rest with God. Amen. -- Publisher's website.

Book of Acts (Sc, Nlt)
A beautiful representation of The Book of Acts--an active, moving historical account of the beginnings of the early church and how its message was received by the world. Acts is the bridge between past and future--between the historical accounts of the Gospels and what is to happen next for the followers of Jesus. It is a good and necessary book for our modern lives.

Book of Ephesians (Hc, Nlt)
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.

Book of Job (Sc, Nlt)
Book of Revelation
Chicken Scratch
Creativity comes into play in just about any field. Looking at situations from different perspectives, finding new uses for old things, combining disparate ideas or ingredients or even colors--all are creative endeavors. And when writer Ann Byle became a chicken owner, she began to look at her hens with new interest and the keen eye of an artist. Even though chicken-tending proved to have its own challenges, Byle discovered that her feathered friends offered surprising lessons and inspiration for her own work, lessons on living creatively. With Chicken Scratch, Ann Byle brings us good fun and meaning-making at the intersection of creative living and our egg-laying friends. She mixes quotes, ...
