Good Dog Rebinds: Reformation Heritage Study Bible (King James Version)

Description

As consumers living in a digital age, we think nothing of dropping a few hundred dollars on a new laptop or cell phone every couple of years. However, when it comes to our Bibles, we often don’t consider aesthetics as valuable a factor in our purchasing new or the need to preserve the heirloom passed down to us from a faithful man or woman of God. Good Dog Designs and Rebinds was founded by Caleb Stomberg who enjoys taking time and skill to rebind Bibles new and old in supple, authentic, quality leathers in order to elevate visually what is already priceless within – God’s Word.

The Reformation Heritage Study Bible

This particular design is a Reformation Heritage Study Bible rebound using a Crazy Horse “Ocean” leather cover and a sky blue lambskin leather liner. The leather used on this cover is unique as it has pull-up properties, appears rustic, and quickly takes on an aged patina. Such patina is a feature and develops a unique character. Though minor scratches can be “healed” by rubbing over them or using a leather conditioner, these do not represent damage to the leather.

This is a King James Version of the Bible. It is a comfortable size to carry at 10 1/2 x 7 1/2 x 2 inches. The imprints are blindstamped onto the spine of the Bible for subtle detail. The page edges have been dyed in burgandy for an elegant copy of the Scriptures that you can treasure and pass down for generations to come. The cover has been handsewn using navy blue stitching, and three burgandy ribbons have been installed for your convenience. The end pages both front and back have a slightly feminine floral pattern to them. We know you will love it!

Why is it called Good Dog Designs?

The designer here, Caleb Stomberg, felt Good Dog would be a clever spin on his own name. The name Caleb is most familiar to Christians in the Bible stories of Exodus where Caleb and Joshua were among the Israelites commissioned to spy out the Promised Land. These two alone remained faithful along with Moses from that generation and were allowed to see the Promised Land. However, most people do not realize that the Hebrew name Caleb means “dog.” What would seem to us a dishonorable name given at birth, graced a man that proved godly time and again. Caleb only prays he can live up to such a legacy. As a play on the name Caleb, Good Dog Designs: Bible Rebinding and Custom Wood Products was established. He enjoys crafting high quality wood designs and rebinding Bibles as a bivocational pastor and father to seven children living in Northwest Minnesota. You can learn more about Caleb and his wife here.
