In the Most Beautiful Bookmark She Has Ever Held.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePsalm 23 is the psalm that has been read at bedsides and gravesides and in the quiet of the early morning for thousands of years — the psalm that has brought more comfort, more peace, more genuine assurance to more people in more circumstances than any other words ever written. \u003cem\u003eThe Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.\u003c\/em\u003e The words that say everything. The words that hold everything. The words that deserve to mark the page of every book worth reading — and now they do, in the most beautiful, most enduring, most genuinely lovely way imaginable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eLord is My Shepherd\u003c\/em\u003e Leather Bookmark by Kilele Gear is handmade genuine leather — 1.5\" wide and 6\" long, with a .25\" x 5\" leather tie and brass hardware — the bookmark that is as beautiful as the words it carries, as durable as the faith it represents, and as meaningful as the hands that made it. Elegant. Enduring. The bookmark that will still be marking pages long after every paper bookmark she has ever owned has been lost or torn or forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGenuine Leather — The Material That Gets More Beautiful With Every Page\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLeather is the most extraordinary bookmark material available — and the reason is not just its beauty, though the beauty is extraordinary. It is the way leather lives and changes and deepens over time, developing the unique patina that is the signature of a material that has been genuinely used and genuinely loved. The leather in this bookmark will darken slightly with use. It will soften. It will develop the particular warmth and character that only comes from a natural material that has been handled and carried and slipped between pages hundreds of times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe color tone and texture of each bookmark vary slightly from piece to piece — because leather is a natural material, and no two pieces of natural leather are exactly alike. The bookmark she receives is the only one exactly like it in the world. And over time, it will become even more uniquely hers — the patina of her particular reading life, the record of every book she has marked and every page she has returned to, written in the deepening color of the leather itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe brass hardware adds the most elegant, most refined finishing touch — the warm gold of the brass against the natural leather creating a combination that is simultaneously classic and modern, timeless and beautifully made. The leather tie keeps the bookmark secure and adds the most delicate, most lovely detail to a piece that is already extraordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHandmade in Nairobi, Kenya — A Mission Worth Holding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis bookmark is handmade by a team of leather artisans in Nairobi, Kenya — skilled craftspeople employed by Kilele Gear, a nonprofit on mission to create life-transforming employment in their local community and beyond. “Kilele” means “peak” or “summit” in Swahili — and the mission of Kilele Gear is to offer peak quality goods made by artisans who are paid fairly, employed with dignity, and given the opportunity to build a future through their craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bookmark purchased starts a ripple effect of positive impact — a job supported, a family strengthened, a community lifted. The bookmark that marks the page of Psalm 23 was made by hands that know what it means to be provided for, to be led beside still waters, to have a shepherd who goes before them. With your purchase, you become a part of this story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Perfect Faith Gift — For Every Reader, Every Occasion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the woman whose Bible is her most-read book and whose bookmark should be as beautiful as the words it marks. For the devotional reader, the Bible study member, the theology student, the pastor, the person who reads with a pen in one hand and a bookmark in the other. For a confirmation gift, a graduation gift, a Christmas stocking, an Easter basket, a birthday, or a just-because gift for the person who loves the Word and deserves the most beautiful bookmark available to mark it with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGive it tucked into a Bible, a devotional, or a favorite book — the most personal, most meaningful, most beautifully simple gift imaginable.
