“I think the book is beautifully illustrated. I love how it was set up. I ordered three of them for Christmas gifts. The first I thought they were full bibles. I was a little disappointed when I found out. It was more of a bible study than a bible. But I decided to keep them and give them anyway. I thought the cost for the was a little high. But overall, all after looking through it, I think it will make a great way to study the bible in a year.”
“I love the Bible Study and was thankful for the free Volume 2. I was a little disappointed when I asked if I could pay the difference and get the Volume 2 in a spiral bound, but was told I had to purchase Volume 1. When I explained again that I had purchased Volume 1 just wanted Volume 2 in the spiral bound, I was basically told the same thing. I just gave up after that. Thankful for what I have.”
“I bought the year in the Bible for women study. It's a gift for my wife. I thought I was getting the spiral bound book. Turns out I got the non-spiral bound option. It's still nice, but I think the website was not clear on what I was getting.”
“First time ordering from your Co. your link was sent to me by my daughter who wanted these books for Christmas. Won’t know how she will like the books or not till she gets them”
“My book got here fast and it’s beautiful. I am so impressed with the paper quality. The only tiny thing that bothered me was some of the pages folded where the coil is on the inside…if I had paid $15, I wouldn’t say anything, but paying $50 was different. It was wrapped so probably bad luck.”
“The experience with ordering has been pleasant. I have just started the journey into the devotional so I will wait to comment on that piece. However just a few days after ordering I received notification of a Black Friday deal which would have given me 50% off. And personally the initial cost of the book in my opinion was rather high. It would have been nice to have been able to take advantage of that savings.”
“I purchased as a gift for my daughter. It's beautifully presented and appears to be done well.
Cannot accurately rate as I have not gone thru one of their studies.”
“I love the books I've ordered from alabaster co, I think they're well made and beautiful insights to something we all at the very least should have knowledge of. It does make it seem less intimidating for a new believer or someone who may not yet have faith to engage in. And those who have faith, having simple and impactful Break downs helps the information retain and grow in our hearts
I do wish there was a more transparent or fluid approach for pricing across all platforms. I ordered a Bible study from the website directly, but it was much cheaper on TikTok through the alabaster co official page. Many people may not have that same access, and honestly funds to spend. But want to ensure they're getting the real deal instead of a copy. So if it's being advertised as one price somewhere, I feel it should be that way everywhere for full transparency.
Overall, I would recommend this company and the books that they make.”
“It’s beautiful and I love the reading plan! The “Bible study” is a little watery, but to be honest, the only deep dives are in single studies anyways.”
“I am on my second day of using the Year in the Bible. I am enjoying its structure each day as I dive into the Word.
However, my one complaint so far is the space to write notes each week as I read daily is very limited.
It would be nice to have a spare page or two dividing each week for notes on what I’ve read so I can refer back to each day for my Reflection by the end of the week.
I’m on day two and have almost filled all spare space for my notes!
Outside of that, I am thoroughly enjoying it!”
“Lovely book - but 2 things to watch out for... the size of the book is 7" wide x 8.5" tall - so it's not really large like some coffee table books. Also, if you get the Gospels hard cover, it's a single book - not 4 separate books. One of the pics on the website shows a stack of 4 books, but it's to make the point that all 4 are in this one book (which I missed). Otherwise, very nice books. :)”
“Alabaster is a great resource for finding additional texts that help to support The Word. I am enjoying reading "All Things Made" the beautiful photgraphy and prayers help to connect me to the Holy Spirit throughout my creative process and provide a path to celebrating the gifts God has given me. We are created in His image, and therefore, we create. It is with this in mind that I rejoice in the makings of my artistry to connect and bless others.”
