Reviews
I have never done any Bible journaling, but I recently became interested in giving it a try - the problem was, I didn't know where to begin. I found this fabulous book on Amazon - "Complete Guide to Bible Journaling: Creative Techniques to Express Your Faith" by Joanne Fink & Regina Yoder. Truly, this is an amazing reference book - $13.38 and Prime Shipping and in 48 hours you are ready to begin. There are six sections: Getting Started (which tells you how to begin and helps you choose the kind of Bible to use); Tools and Techniques (12 different techniques, including page prep); Artist Profiles(a few pages telling the story and showing examples of the styles of each of the women, including the "founder" of this, Shanna Noel); a Gallery (shows examples out of the Bible, in the Bible and different styles); Resources and Index (gives artist websites, various social media groups, including Facebook and Instagram); and at the very end a Bonus section with tabs, stickers, traceable patterns and more. I have long admired Joanne Fink's lettering style; she is not only instructional but inspirational. This is the most complete book on the subject that I could imagine.For those who would ask "Why Bible Journal?" the best answer is found on Valerie Sjodin's profile pages "it's this experience of meetings, between God and self and between word and image, that makes Bible Journaling irresistible..." There are also constant reminders to find your own method of expression, your own personal style and the images in this book are very helpful in showing me what I like and what I don't like. Now it's time to pick a verse, spend some time with God through it and see where that journey takes me. To me, Bible Journaling is a way to spend more time with God and deepen my faith. I recommend trying this excellent book for yourself - something inside it will send you off on your own creative discovery; I promise.
