CORAGGIO Deer at the Stream Rustic Leather Journal Cover

This rustic journal cover belongs to our Coraggio collection, and features our Deer at the Stream design.

For the writer in all of us, this 5.75" x 9.25" journal cover is the lifelong companion you can use for all your future journals. Measuring 9.25" tall, and 11.75" when opened, this cover comes with an internal journal, and then can be refilled with a new one when you're ready! With a wrap-around leather strap, each journal cover includes a strap that is used to keep it held together while you travel! Crafted from 100% soft, genuine leather, each one comes in differing shades and patterns - no two are the same. The included inside journal comes with a tag of the artisan’s name that personally crafted your journal and has around 100 pages of standard-ruled paper. They are designed and engraved in our Steubenville, OH workshop.

Hand-crafted in Honduras, these leather journals were created by the individuals at Lazarus Artisan Goods. Through this ministry, men and women are taught to make high quality goods while receiving sustainable wages, health-care, and an education. Their goal is to not only help their workers financially, but to teach them to find dignity and purpose in all that they do.

These journals are only available while supplies last.

[Coraggio Design - Deer at the Stream]

This deer design is in reference to Psalm 42: “As the deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, O God.” In this psalm, the singer is downcast and weary, much like a tired deer fleeing from danger. Yet, the singer remembers to have hope and faith in God, and longs for His presence to soothe their soul. This design serves as a gentle, but insistent reminder to not lose hope in God’s love for us; for as long as we search for Him, He will find us.

Once, as Pope St. John Paul II battled illness, a Capuchin friar stood below his window with a fist in the sky and shouted, "Coraggio! (Courage!)". Inspired by this story, Catholic to the Max has partnered with the Lazarus Artisan Shop in Honduras to bring you this fair-trade, hand-crafted leather item. May it give you the courage for the adventure of an authentic Christian life!

Both we at Catholic to the Max and Mission Lazarus thank you for helping support our teams of talented individuals.
