Sunday Door Posts: Volume 2

by Timothy R. Botts

Sunday Doorposts II is a collection of sixty black and white church bulletin cover designs from biblical texts. For eight years, Tim Botts has gone through the weekly exercise in his local church of receiving the scriptural basis for the following Sunday's worship and has calligraphically interpreted each one. Now these original designs are available to your church or organization for reproduction as bulletin covers, as designs for flyers, newsletters, and bulletin boards. Or, you may wish to use this book for personal meditation.

About the author

Timothy Botts is an American artist, calligrapher, and educator best known for transforming biblical passages into expressive works of visual art. Raised in Pennsylvania, he discovered his artistic talent at an early age with encouragement from a dedicated teacher who nurtured his abilities throughout his school years. His fascination with lettering began in childhood and deepened while studying graphic design at Carnegie Mellon University, where he was introduced to calligraphy. After graduating, he married and spent three years in Japan teaching conversational English, an experience that also exposed him to Japanese brush writing. Over the years, Botts developed a distinctive visual language that blends color, varied lettering styles, historical scripts, and contemporary influences. His scripture-based murals have appeared in churches, schools, and hospitals, while his artwork has also been widely published in books and other media. An experienced teacher, he has taught calligraphy courses, led workshops across the United States, and presented at international calligraphy events.
