John 3:16 Ballpoint Twist Pen Kits

Craft a pen that carries one of the most recognized verses ever written with the John 3:16 Twist Pen Kit. A praying hands finial, a crucifix clip, and the verse engraved along the barrel make this more than a writing instrument — it's a message you can hold. Beautifully finished in your choice of Antique Pewter, Chrome, Gunmetal, or Satin Silver.

What truly sets the John 3:16 Kit apart is its engraved barrel detail. The words "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son" are etched directly into the metal — no label, no decal, just permanent craftsmanship. Pair it with Bethlehem Olivewood, amboyna burl, or any blank that speaks to you, and the result is a gift no one will set aside.

• Praying Hands Finial: Detailed cast finial adds immediate spiritual symbolism at the top of the pen.
