What Does it Look Like to Follow Jesus Today?
This is the question posed by the creators behind Alabaster Co., the publisher whose visually stunning Bibles have invited millions of people to read Scripture and experience God as beautiful. Through their work, Brian Chung and Samuel Han have had conversations with hundreds of talented Christians, people working to reimagine and restore what it means to live with faith, even in the midst of a culture that is causing us to be more cynical, isolated, and mentally unwell than ever before. These conversations led to a desire to widen the imagination for what integrating faith into a purposeful life can look like, to show a broad spectrum of Christian belief and practice.

Alongside striking original photography, these unique stories encourage us to reflect on:
Modern Faith inspires and challenges us all to discover the beauty of following Jesus with honesty, courage, and wonder.
