With designs based on the trees and plants of the Bible
Last year I read the Bible for the FIRST TIME EVER from start to finish.
While reading the Bible I found that God himself is truly an artist. His words, stories, and love that goes into his work are all masterpieces. From beginning to end everything connects. It was beautiful, complicated and eye opening. I wanted to start this year by attempting to glorify his word. I have never been good with words, myself, so painting felt like it could be my small contribution. With this collection, I really just wanted to paint something that I felt was beautiful and share it with you. This series of hand-painted bibles are based on the various florals and trees shared through-out God’s story with us. I love how these plants and trees are connected, not just in one way to these stories, but on so many different levels. God has given everything a purpose and meaning, even if we don’t always see it right away.
I hope you can also find joy in the meaning and purpose behind these hand-painted bibles!
Sincerely,
About the Bibles
All of the Bibles I have chosen are ESV Crossway Bibles. This is the Bible I personally use and have come to love. The English Standard Version (ESV) is an "essentially literal" translation of the Bible in contemporary English. Created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors, the ESV Bible emphasizes "word-for-word" accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning.
Production & Fulfillment
Bibles will be painted upon order and shipped within 3-6 weeks. If you have any questions or small personalizations request (such as adding a name or initials) please feel free to reach out to my email at mauckart@gmail.com! Once your bible arrives, it will come with its own personalized Mauck X Made bookmark and a pencil for journaling within your Bible.
About the Hardcover Study Journaling Bible
The ESV Journaling Study Bible pairs the content of a robust study Bible with extra-large, 2-inch margins that are perfect for writing observations, prayers, and more as you study God’s Word. Featuring more than 12,000 study notes adapted from the ESV Study Bible, this journaling Bible also includes nearly 900 special facts, 120 Bible character profiles, 10 topical articles, a glossary of key terms, more than 80 maps and illustrations, and 80,000 cross-references. These and many other features make it the most comprehensive and content-rich journaling Bible available today. This size of this bible measures 7.375 in x 8.25 in, with a page count of 1,856.
About the Canvas Journaling Bible
The ESV Journaling Bible provides generous space for writing and reflection beside the Scriptures in lined, 2-inch margins on thick, cream-colored, opaque paper. It will not contain study notes like the Journaling Study Bible above. The cover will be a durable canvas instead of the hardcover of the Journal Study Bible. This bible is slightly smaller than the Journal Study Bible, measuring 6.25 in x 7.25 in with a page count of 1,088.
Bible Care
As a professional of multi-surface painting, I have taken extensive measures to ensure these Bibles are durable. Covers can be cleaned with gentle household cleaners as needed. My hope is that these Bibles can be loved and used in your home for many years to come. Still, please take precautions to care for your new hand-painted bible and understand as any “painted-surface” you can still inflict damage. Each bible comes with a cotton bag to use during storage, transportation, or any kind of general safe keeping.
