Evelyn Scaramanga and John Eddison, two longstanding friends whose abilities complement one another, have worked together to achieve this unusual presentation from the Bible.

Some of the best-loved and most uplifting passages from the Bible have been chosen for Lyn Scaramanga to scribe in calligraphy and illuminate with delightful, delicate watercolors.

Echoing the splendor and majesty of the Book of Kells and the Lindisfarne Gospels, Spring of Joy is a book to treasure and turn to at all times, be it for comfort and consolation or for faith and encouragement, whatever the need.

Passages from both Old and New Testaments are included, with eight different translations, from the King James Bible to the New International Version, being used. Springs of Joy, begun by Evelyn Scaramanga as a labor of love in memory of her late husband, has turned into a beautiful and inspired work of art. It is ideal as a special gift, either for those who already love the Bible or for those less familiar with it. It may also be used as a book for personal devotions, rather like a medieval Book of Hours.
