Hey @Jundy Justin! Thanks for reaching out! Can you please highlight specific points where you feel words were changed? To our knowledge we partnered with the NLT Translation (https://www.tyndale.com/nlt) and used their translation in full. Feel free to message us too, whatever is easier :)
Got the books about a month ago, and they look great! Question though, why did you guys choose to add or change some words from the text in the Bible? I feel as though the word of God should go unchanged; and while I appreciate the message, I'm just wondering about your thought process behind this?
Hi @Jason Kang, thanks for your question. Our estimated shipping date for the project was April 2017 and we're still set on that! We're excited to get it to you soon.
Hi @Brian & Jennifer Mitchell! Thanks for checking in on us. We will be sending an update on the project towards the end of next week. Looking forward to sharing with you!
Hey @A.RON, thanks for checking in! We're sorry for the delay on an update. We're working on one right now and you can expect it by the end of this week at the latest.
Currently there is only an option for it to be delivered in the U.S but I live in Korea. I read in the update that Alabaster will be delivering internationally including Korea. Will there be another Reward Survey for international shipping? I'd greatly appreciate your assistance regarding this so I can provide the necessary information also. Thank you. Excited for this project to kick off~!
Can you please direct me to where the art print options are (so I can fill out the survey of which one I want)? Or maybe send out an email with what they look like?
Thank you for creating this to glorify Him, the Maker and Creator of all that is good. Will there be other books in the future? And, any plans on allowing others to purchase the books outside of Kickstarter after the goal/project fulfilled date?
As a point of clarification, can you confirm that each gospel is included in its entirety? That is my impression based on the presentation but I didn't see that specifically mentioned anywhere. Thanks
We'd be happy to coordinate buying multiple rewards! Unfortunately Kickstarter does not allow multiple pledges, but you can message us directly to talk about the add-ons you want.
Hello,
I was wondering if I can add a print to my order by pledging an additional $20? I wanted two sets and a print and wondered if there was a way to do that.
Does Kickstarter limit backers to a single type of pledge? I'd like to get a combo set + art for myself, and then the 2-set combo to use as gifts, but I can't figure out how to select a second pledge type.
The first prototype designs look amazing and a great representation / artistic representation of the text. Looking forward to sitting down and meditating through the scriptures in a new artistic enabled way. Keep up the great work looking forward to seeing the progress.
@RJ Liu: Thanks for the feedback! From designer to designer, we really appreciate it. The book in the video is our version one mockup. Once the project is funded we’re going to complete production of the book. We’re going to make sure the typography is on point during the multiple design rounds we’re planning. We want everything to be perfect and beautiful once we start mass production. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again!
Guys, this is a wonderful project and I'm happy to support it. However, I noticed that a lot of the type is not yet properly aligned both on the covers and inside the book. For example, the names of the Gospels on the spine of each book do not line up yet. Also, some of the spacing inside the book feels cramped.
I really want to make sure this is going to be fixed, else I hesitate to share or back more fully. What will you do to make sure the typography is on point, seeing as this is a typographic project?

Great job guys,
Got them just before Easter Resurrection Sunday. Gave them to the family. The books now adorn our living room table.

Received mine today in northern Indiana. They look awesome! Corners a bit beat up from shipping but nothing major/serious. Thank you, Bryan!

Hi @Raymond Wong, we do not have any "official plans" to create more books, but we are definitely thinking about it!
The books are now available for pre-order outside of the Kickstarter here on our new Indiegogo page: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/alabaster-the-bible-beautiful-photography/x/15181669#/
We hope to have the books available after the projected fulfilled date but it has not been set up yet!
Bryan Chung Créateur le October 13, 2016
Hi @Jino Chung and @Jennifer Mitchell, I will both message you individually to help answer your questions. Thanks!

I accidentally deleted the survey from my spam box. Not realizing it was the survey. Can it be resent?
Bryan Chung Créateur le October 11, 2016
Hi @Hillary Bylund, thanks for your question! The art print options are on our campaign page towards the bottom under the "Rewards" header.
You can find the link to the campaign page here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/519726203/alabaster-the-bible-beautiful/description
I'll also be happy to email you about it.
Hillary Bylund le October 11, 2016

Any way I can order more than 4 but less than 10 with one pledge?

Hi @Scotty, yes each Gospel is included in its entirety! Thanks for your question.

YAAASSS! Shipping to Malaysia! FINALLY! :D
I initially asked a friend from Singapore for his address but I don't need that anymore! YAY :)
