Alabaster Co Reviews

"I started this Bible study in January in CO with my sister, our two daughters, and two aunts (in WY via FaceTime) and absolutely love it! \r\nWe meet once a month and go over the weekly readings and any questions that arose along the way. \r\nGreat study, and all three generations enjoy it."

"Incredible! Slammed through it so fast. When Jonathan said this was a labor of love, he meant it and it shows. \r\n\r\nThe book covers three main topics: Gather, Equip, and Create. The first two focus on Christians around Japan applying their faith to their businesses and crafts. Primarily in the form of interviews, we get to know the faith journeys of Christians surrounded by a society filled with unbelief, and how they are able to find their artistic niche. They share the same heart for Japan that many of us have and use their crafts as outreach to the many lost people in Japan. \r\n\r\nThe third part focuses on the artists behind Magnify Tokyo and the process for creating the album. They share their heart behind each song and their stories that inspired them. They also lay out the lyrics in both English and Japanese. (The book is meant to hand in hand with the Magnify Tokyo album).\r\n\r\nThe book is a perfect fit for Christians with a heart for Japan, Christians in Japan, and missionaries to Japan. I personally feel called to missions in Japan and will be going soon, and this book was extremely helpful. It also shares some cultural overviews of Japan that are helpful. \r\n\r\nThe book was well designed and the colors were very \"comfy\". It's got those Christian coffeeshop vibes if you know what I mean. I feel like Japanese design was also incorporated into the layout as well. \r\n\r\nPersonally, it is my aching desire to see Christians in Japan flourish not only in their faith in Christ, but also to see them apply their faith in the arts and in business, along with every aspect of life. This book showed me exactly that. I hope to see the team come together again and make more art and music! They have a lot of potential!\r\n\r\nPraise Jesus King. "

"I am someone who has read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation in its entirety but I struggle now diving deep and focusing on learning the text. This study Bible combo has changed my relationship with reading the word and I truly get excited each morning. The structure and organization it provides is exactly what I needed. "

"I am in love with my alabaster 52 week Bible study for women spiral bound. This is one of the easiest ways that I found to learn God\u2018s word on a daily basis. It helps to keep me grounded, and the questions are easy to respond to because of the material given"

"Being a photographer and writer I wanted this book to help me begin to truly represent a child of God with my work. This book gives me many ideas and ways to accomplish this. I appreciate the photos and the words so much as they reflect the Christ of creativity!"

"I loved this book so much, beautiful book and beautifully written "

"So beautiful, this small printed piece draws me into quiet rhythms for this season. I\u2019m encouraged to meditate on the themes surrounding a creative life as so much more than hobby or vocation, which is how I\u2019ve traditionally approached creativity for much of my life. Thank you, thank you \ud83e\ude77"
