please read the "how to order" listing description before placing your order! * #theLaurenbible is themed after a beautiful woman whose pain & darkness was transformed into marvelous Light by the power of God’s Word! Lauren had a great childhood, caring parents & siblings she got along with. But, there was an overwhelming realization of an emptiness in her heart, a hole she sought to fill with all the things the world promised would satisfy her. This eventually led to a heroin addiction that left her homeless & hopeless. After the death of her boyfriend, she began to sink deeper into the darkness of addiction & depression- wanting, even trying, to kill herself numerous times. Her father, who was a cop, would search for her when she was missing & never gave up trying to help her. Lauren’s only hope & satisfaction in the day was the very thing that kept her in chains. BUT GOD, shown through the heart of her earthly father, would seek her out & would never give up in bringing His daughter safely home to make her whole. At a point of desperation, she agreed to enter into a faith based program called Calvary Residential Discipleship in Maine. The beautiful words of the Bible would daily jump off the page & into her heart, making it new & pure. She was shown the faithfulness of God her Father & made into something beautiful by His love. She responded the call on her life into service & stayed an extra year to complete the School of Ministry. A few years of walking in freedom later, she moved back to New Jersey & met Jeff, her now husband (who was saved from a past of street life & drug dealing). Together, they started a faith-based addiction meeting there called The Missing Peace. She met hundreds of hurting, hopeless people & led them to the Cross- where her chains were broken. Jeff & Lauren are still in ministry today, now with a beautiful daughter named Mena. They recently moved back up to Maine to start a program in Island Falls called Resting Arms Ministry from the ground up. Addicts are being saved by the day, called to repentance & led into abundant life through the witness of these two faithful servants. The Word of God that saved/healed them continues to be the Foundation of their life & family!

shipping & returns

all Sparrows & Wildflowers Bibles are painted upon order.

because each item is custom and made to order, no returns or refunds will be accepted unless there is an error on my end (as with any handmade items, this has happened a handful of times!)

IF an error is to occur such as a typo, different verse than you requested or omission of one of your specific requests, please communicate with me & i will be HAPPY to provide you with the means to ship it back to me so I can fix it!


florals/backdrops will vary slightly in color from the listing photos as they are blended while wet & filters are at times added for aesthetic purposes. also due to certain lighting/phone/computer screens, we may be seeing colors uniquely different.
no two bibles are ever exactly the same, yours will be unique and totally YOU!

if an item is promised by a certain date, & does not arrive by that date due to an error at the post office Sparrows & Wildflowers cannot be held liable. shipping is unfortunately out of my hands as soon as i bring it to the post office, although i wish i could hand deliver each one! i provide tracking on all of my items for that reason. 
the processing time for your order does not include weekends or holidays, it also doesn’t include shipping time once your order is in the mail.
also, with tracking… the post office sometimes does not scan the packages along the way.

don’t be alarmed if it looks like your package hasn’t moved since its shipping day, as that is very common. i am a one woman show working around the clock to get orders out in a timely manner. these Bibles are in high demand so i really appreciate your patience and understanding with all these shipping announcements.

i do try to get each order out as quickly as possible. you can follow along for updates by signing up for text/e,ail notifications connected to your tracking number as soon as i print your label & when i ship, you’ll see that package number moving & grooving!

care instructions

i always say to all my guests in the shop, absolutely handle with care. i would not suggest leaving this bible out in the rain or scratching at the design or leaving it in the car or outside in less than 30 degree weather….. or in the hands of a two year old ha!

as with any handmade item, there is always the risk of imperfections as you use and love on this Bible over time.

however, my passion that ignited the fire to start this business is the desire that women would grow more in love with the Word of God. i do not intend to sell these beautiful works of art to sit on a shelf and be house decor. we have enough “shelf bibles” in our blessed, free country!

my desire is that women would take this bible everywhere they go and OVERUSE it! i like to see women’s bibles full of notes, highlighted and LIVED IN, loved on. after years of use, every one of my Bibles grow to accumulate imperfections that make this personal Book my own! my desire is that this Bible would be taken everywhere with you.

…and if that means walking in the rain with your Bible to go share the love of Christ with someone who needs Him, i have prepared for that! i cover each Bible with multiple coats of paint finish/sealer to ensure you that whether it’s few raindrops, an accidental drop to the ground as you give someone a hug, or setting your prayer journal on top of it as you ride in the car... none of these things will ruin it!

i want you to enjoy this work of art for years to come! 


with all this being said, i still do not suggest scratching at the design and caring for the Word of God as something precious! just as i would also suggest not using pens as book marks, as the binding is subject to ripping. unfortunately i don’t have a product i’ve run over with a car (napoleon dunamite reference) or dropped off a building for crash tests 😂

 BUT i do have multiple women at my church who have ordered my product that I see them using each sunday and wednesday... and the Bible’s are holding up just wonderfully and in great shape :)
