New Books of the Bible Poster

ConnectionAugust 2022 - #26

Welcome. Haere Mai.
Good news. The Books of the Bible Windows poster is now complete! 
 
This project has been collaborative and community based—I could not have completed it without help from others. After seven months in the making, I truly hope this new visual translation opens, educates and connects all those who are searching for truth through our good God of beauty—"For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light" (psalm 36).
 
Please click on the image below to see more and to hopefully order a print for your community—I wonder, how can we get this poster into every Catholic school?
