What is beauty? 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 beauty 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.
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.
Alabaster is the brainchild of Brian Chung and Bryan Ye-Chung,
Forbes Next 1000 and
Forbes 30 under 30 honorees. After meeting at the
University of Southern California, they set out to create books that embody the intersection of art and faith. For Brian and Bryan, the goal was to spark fresh conversations and to design a book that took the richness and beauty of the biblical text and reflects that beauty visually.
