NLT Notetaking Bible : Santa Elena Theme

In Colombia’s “village of flowers,” Santa Elena—where wildflowers grow high on the mountain tops—was the inspiration for this simply beautiful leather-like Bible. Historically, farmers in Santa Elena journeyed down from the mountains with their backs loaded with flowers ready to sell in the nearby town in exchange for provisions.

The untamed beauty of these wildflowers crouched among the blades of grass in Santa Elena inspired the bold design and Scripture on this Bible: “The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the Word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:8). In contrast to the withering and wilting that will inevitably happen to even the most beautiful of flowers, the Word of God remains alive and fresh and will stand regardless of time or tragedy.
