13th Bible Stick – Titles of Christ
This stick has twenty-two different titles of Christ. I wanted it to look like a cluster of entangled vines, twisted together to hold the different titles. There is no particular order to the titles. I did lead off with “I Am”, because it shows connection with God. Towards the end of the stick, you will find “Amen”. Listed below are the titles I chose, the Bible passage where it can be found, and the image I used to illustrate that title.

Most of the images used to illustrated each title are simple and self-explanatory. But a few of the images are fun or need a little explanation. For the Rock, I decided to use a guitar. The Bread of Life has a chunk removed, to look like someone took a bite out of it. For the Prince of Peace, I used two fingers holding up the peace sign. This stick is carved out of mahogany. I worked on it for three years. If I had to guess, maybe 200 hours of carving. I finished it in February 2011.
