<br> Alabaster explores the intersection of creativity, beauty, and faith through original artistic content and stories of makers/doers. <br> Alabaster Co. began late one night when friends Bryan Chung and Brian Chung were deep in discussion on creativity and God. Reflecting on the direction culture was taking toward visual images, innovation and design, an idea was born: create a brand passionate about fully exploring the intersection of creativity, beauty, and faith. <br> Realizing that beauty is a foundational value when talking about creativity and God, they decided to name the company Alabaster, after one of the only times Jesus uses the word beautiful in the Gospels. In Mark 14:1-9, a woman breaks an alabaster jar of incredibly expensive perfume onto Jesus' head. Many people in the room scoff at her and say what she has done is a complete waste. But Jesus defends the woman saying, "leave her alone, why do you bother her? What she has done is a beautiful thing." It is this complete act of sacrificial giving which Jesus calls - in the original greek - kalos, which literally means beautiful as a sign of inward goodness. Alabaster all with the same passion: explore the intersection of creativity, beauty, and faith for the sake of a more beautiful human flourishing. <br> Study the Entire Bible in One Year: With suggested readings for each day of the week, and thoughtful prompts to invite deeper reflection, this book invites us to explore the story of scripture with fresh eyes and focused intention. <br> Explore topics such as: <br> The Relationship Between God and Humanity <br> The Beauty of Serving Others <br> Living Out Our Faith <br> The Work of the Cross <br> The Joy of Worship <br> Courage in the Face of Opposition <br> And 46 additional chapters
