“I received my set recently and am beyond impressed! To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect from the quality of the imagery and how well they convey the different Gospel passages. I am a full-time Christian minister who has studied the Gospels in-depth countless times, and I have to say, as I flipped through these books, I found myself moved to tears at some of the images! I am VERY PLEASED with my set and am showing them to as many of my friends as possible. WELL DONE, Alabaster!!”
“I received this as a birthday gift after seeing the kickstarter on my facebook feed a couple times - it definitely exceeded my expectations! The aesthetics are clean and poignant, the photography is breathtaking, and it's well made. Really going to enjoy working my way through them!”
“Incredible art.
Needless to say, a compelling text-one that has shaped the world profoundly.
From a design standpoint, it's akin to the likes of Kinfolk-well laid-out. At the same time, the paper isn't glossy, so one can feel free to annotate if they desire. A great look. A lot of the images are unexpected, creative in a way that draws you in [just like the biblical text!].”

“As a Kickstarter backer, I have been patiently waiting for my set to arrive. And the wait was definitely well worth it. Flipping through the pages it is easy to see that the paper, colors, and binding is all high quality. But while the formatting of the photos and text is great, the thought and intentionality of the photo placement is even better. The visuals perfectly correspond with the text in a way that is meaningful, contemplative, and beautiful. I found myself moved to tears a few times while reading about the crucifixion/resurrection and reflecting on the corresponding visuals. The photos moved me in a way that text itself cannot. I'm excited about the conversations about art and faith that Alabaster will help facilitate in the future!”
“I just received my copy of the Book of John today in mail, and I can say that it was the best Kickstarter investment I made in 2016. I can impressed and overjoyed by the quality of the product. It's as if I'm carrying a Kinfolk magazine in hands but in Bible version. I especially would recommend this as a gift to any creative soul out there, pastor or even your coworker who may not be a believer but would appreciate this aesthetics.”
