What does Paul want us to see and feel as we read Philippians? The Book of Philippians by Alabaster is here to help us get to the heart of Christ.
Refreshing and Beautiful
The New Living Translation is featured in this book, and I found it to be simply refreshing. Familiar passages were given new life, and I found myself getting a better grasp of the big ideas. The design and layout of the book is gorgeous, giving ample white space and isolating certain verses for greater emphasis.
From the introduction, we learn that a deep bronze color was used to inform the invitations of Philippians. “Bronze, next to its comparatives of silver and gold, is a color that can represent both humility and perseverance.” It is seen throughout the pictures, and the theme is beautifully reinforced.
Stunning and Amazing
The photos in this edition are especially stunning. Contrasting scenes both indoors and outdoors, as well as wide shots and closeups are used. I found myself contemplating the holiness of Jesus as well as his humility. The mystery of God becoming flesh and dwelling among us is truly amazing.
The book begins with photos of the earth, seeds, and soil. By the end, you see epic landscapes, some shrouded in fog. I thought of perseverance, and being certain that God will finish the work he began. We can rejoice in this world. The glorious riches of Christ are ours. We are citizens of Heaven, our true home.

I love reading the Bible but sometimes I find myself reading through it quickly, rather than taking the time to meditate on each verse. What I love about the Alabaster Bible books is that they complement the scripture in such a way that allows you to pause and reflect. The pages have just enough scripture to allow you to read at a slower pace. These Bibles encourage you to reflect on the beauty found within the scriptures and the light that they give and bring. They are perfect for your quiet time, for your coffee table, and make the best gifts. *Please note, I received a complimentary copy through the Alabaster Influencer Program.

Paul's letter to the Philippians is one of my favorite books in the Bible. And Alabaster has done it once again...these images, paired with Paul's words, elevate the reading experience! Such beautiful and excellent photography that compliments the text and give thoughtful opportunity to meditate on the meaning and heart behind the writings. Love this reading experience!

So grateful for the amazing work that Alabaster continues to create with their Bibles. Read their latest copy of the book of Philippans as part of their ambassador program and I am truly floored. I absolutely love this specific epistle and the way that Alabaster brought it to life for me with their perfectly curated aesthetic and stunning visuals made reading this book that much more meaningful and I am so excited to share it with others when they see it in my home.

The letter from Paul to the Philippians is inspiring and Alabaster came through with this release! The images paired with the test bring to life the images of the life of the church. The wonders of nature throughout remind me that God created the world and He will build His Church!

I love the editions of the books series. I am, however, reviewing Philippians itself. Honestly Paul’s interpretation of what “modern Christians” should do is confusing and deserves a lot more study.
