The art on these cards has been reproduced from an ongoing series of watercolors based on the New Testament. Integrated into each painting is the verse on which it is based, written in Greek. The Greek links viewers to the original form of the text, and its unfamiliar script hints at God's global grace to "every tribe and language."

Artist Kirsten Malcolm Berry paints in configurations of repeated shapes because she is compelled by the use of pattern, so prevalent in indigenous art forms. Southeast Asian fabrics and brass, Scandinavian woolen tapestries, Native American weaving, and traditional American quilts have all influenced her designs.
