Creative Journal Bible - anyone tried it?

Hi Miri,


I've been looking at them for the past 3-4 weeks. I have a journal that I draw art work in and copy down some of my favorite passages and highlight some of the scriptures.


I also add some poems into my journal. Even songs. It's fun. One video mentioned that we need to make it heart work to grow in the Lord instead of just a craft. I also add wise sayings of Christians or a quote.


I've looked at a few journal bibles and I prefer the more plain jane type because I want to choose what to draw and where I want to draw it. The elaborate ones are too busy for my taste. But we're all so different so what some like, others won't and vise versa. That's what makes us all so unique. The others are pretty nice looking and do the drawing for you and then you color it in.


Great minds think alike.

I'd be afraid of making a mistake in my writing or something and having to scribble it out or something and making it look ugly. It's a neat idea though. I've got a legal pad with me when I read so I can jot down notes and thoughts, but it's terribly disorganized.

I've never been a journal person per say, but am a poet and author: but, when certain
said phrases or ideas come to the for front, we both, hub and myself, do write some of
them down for some reason... - but writing down things can be very, very healing...but, just do it
when the fan hits you...else it will become a burden if not done in the right way, which of
course would be, The Lord's Way...

Hi Ive been thinking of getting one of these for a while.

So I finally bit the bullet and ordered one.

I wont be taking it to church with me but will use it as a
devotional bible at home.

Im quite a creative person and I like the idea of interacting with
God's word in a different way, personalising it etc. Plus I'm definately
a margin writer, I find if I write things down they stick in my memory better.

I just wondered if anyone has tried it.

Here are a few videos if you have no idea what I am talking about.

I don't know if I would want to draw all over it as shown in some
videos, but I like the idea of colouring in meaning full verses and
highlighting special times with God, or when verses have specifically
spoken into a situation. Maybe even drawing out or writing out
prayers etc.

I suppose it could become almost a God diary and spiritual walk journal.

I got the bible and I have to say I love it. Its so inspiring flicking though all the wonderful verses, there is something unique as well, in colouring in the various pictures, I find I end up meditating on the verse and praying while drawing, colouring etc. It really is an amazing way to interact with God's word. Im working my way through Ecclesiastes at the moment. I can really identify with what is being said, life is so meaningless without God, so much of what we do has little worth. I don't know how people can go through life without knowing God. View attachment 174409
