Jesus Bible- Artist Edition

This week is a rough one. We can't renew the lease on the house we have rented since the fire in Paradise. We cant find a rental for 6 in a decent price range cuz let's face it...prices have gone nuts since the fire and insurance is running out, but prices are not going to drop back to normal. In addition, our rebuild is stalled. I cant even get the woman at the office to give me a final price estimate or remember to put our names on inspection lists...
So in the midst of packing and moving and having to take our kids on a wild adventure of homelessness.... this lovely Bible arrived from Bible Gateway. The title kinda makes you smirk, Jesus Bible, because isnt Jesus the point of every Bible?

The cool thing about this one is Passion who has brought us a few decades of great worship cds and conferences have backed this project. Their vision speaks depths to where we are as a family and community right now: "And in a world where the weight is often heavy, we want to lift people, speak life, stand for justice, add value and celebrate the goodness of our God in the best of times and when the road is steep."

The cover is taken from the art of Britt Bass. And the intention is to point to the 'scarlet thread' of Jesus being represented through the entire work of the Bible. 

Britt Bass:
She focus on movement in art and how one strike's movements bring on the next.

This is represented in the piece used for the cover as well: Artist Edition Jesus Bible ESV

The ESV and the NIV have different art pieces represented on the covers. I was sent the ESV.


There are essays included by well known Passion speakers such as Lou Giglio.  It is fitting he writes for Genesis and Creation. How can.you not hear Lou chant the sounds of the universe proclaiming "He is big! He is really really big!"
