Bible Journaling Made Simple by Sandy Allnock

Bible Journaling Made Simple: An Art-Filled Journey for Creative Worship by [Allnock, Sandy]














Here is the book summary:

Draw closer to God and creatively unlock more of the Good Book!

Your relationship with God is unique. Shouldn't your Bible reflect and celebrate that bond? In this introduction to Bible journaling, you'll discover meaningful ways to combine art, heart and scripture--from backgrounds to hand-lettered verses to beautiful full-page drawings. No expensive supplies or artistic skills are required...only a desire to honor and enhance your spiritual life.

To guide your creative worship experience, this book provides:

·        Prompts to engage you with the text, then visually interpret Scripture in words and pictures

·        Basic techniques for working with colored pencils, watercolor pencils and watercolor paints

·        21 step-by-step tutorials for drawing trees, flowers, skies, mountains, maps, water, light and other popular themes

·        Tons of inspirational page samples and suggested verses to illustrate

·        Downloadable icons and technique videos available on the author's website

Whether you're new to Bible journaling or looking for fresh ideas, this book will lead you on a rewarding spiritual journey. Success is not measured in the complexity or polish of the art, but in a deeper, more personal connection with God.

"Our lives are busy, and we leave a trail of things-we-should-remember on the ground behind us. Instead, scoop them up and journal them. Preserve the lessons vital to our growth as Christians." ~page 12

And now, my review:
Bible Journaling Made Simple by Sandy Allnock was an inspiring book.  This book points toward passionately pursuing a relationship with God as the first focus with the art side coming in after and I really was blessed by that.  I found her instructions to be doable and understandable.  I didn’t feel unwanted pressure, but I did feel her encouraging me to go for it.  There is nothing like adding art to Scriptures that speak to me, taking it to another level of meditation on His Word, cementing it in my heart.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
