About Hands for Jesus

Books

Our books are handmade. No two are exactly alike. The cover is of handmade, highly textured Phoenician paper with embedded flowers and leaves, and is hand-decorated with a small bouquet of dried flowers. For the text pages, we use heavy, invitation-quality paper with deckled edges. The binding of a soft, bowed, silk ribbon completes your work of art, which is then signed and numbered by the author. The books are 5.5"x 8.5", and each comes shipped to you in a lovely gift bag filled with natural excelsior, ready for you to proudly present (or re-use if this is a gift for yourself).  

The books are pretty, but they're not delicate. You or the receiver of your gift will want to keep it out, read it, and pray it. Each book is made with love and the hope that each reading will draw you closer to God.

Prayers for Marriage in the Real World

Here are prayers for marriage in the real world -- past the flowers and the pretty dress ... when life is beautiful and when times are tough. The prayers take a woman through eight stages of marriage: For the Newly Engaged Woman, For the Wedding Preparations, For the Wedding Day, For the Newly Wedded Wife, For the Period of Adjustment, For the Desperate Times, For the Renewal Times, and For the Golden Years.

We'll Publish Your Book

Have you written some original, previously unpublished prayers or Christian poems that you'd like to have published into a handmade book like those described above? But maybe you've thought that having your work published was out of your reach. Well, maybe not. Consider self-publishing.

Here's how it works:  Send or email your text to us, then we'll design, typeset, print, assemble, and create the cover -- for one book or up to 100. Editing assistance is available at additional cost if you'd like to have it. We'll quote you a price for your project, but here's an idea of the approximate cost for a book of 10 single-sided text pages and a cover, depending on the number of revisions or amount of editing assistance you request: set-up charge for your project would start at $150.00 (plus tax); the charge for each book you order would be approximately $20.00 (plus tax and shipping/handling).

You probably have some family and friends who would love to have the gift of this special part of you.
