The Art of Bible Journaling: More Than 60 Step-by-Step Techniques for Expressing Your Faith Creatively Paperback – Illustrated, September 5, 2017

This is an extremely helpful how-to book that gives many different techniques for Bible journaling. The author, Erin Bassett, provides information about how to choose a type of Bible (translations, styles, etc.) I have a couple of journaling and coloring Bibles but had never heard of an Interleaved Bible before. It apparently has blank pages inserted into the text for you to do a full page journal, if you wish. This is something that I will be picking up to use with this great book.Ms. Bassett provides a listing of tools to use for journaling, from basics, to add-ons beyond basics and even a listing of things to use that are just for fun. I was surprised to see how much of these tools and medium I already have from my other crafts. I will start with what I have and then add-on as I advance.The vast majority of the book is a step-by-step walk through techniques and projects. Each project provides a list of the exact products she has used. That way, I can choose to make my project a match or go my own way with colors but using the same brand to achieve my own unique results.Some of the projects include: Stamping and Embossing, Coloring with Crayons, Gelatos, Stamping with Distress Inks (this looks really interesting to me!), Stenciling and Masking, Spray Inks, Decoupage and much more.I'm looking forward to spending the fall and winter months journaling in my favorite Bible using the projects in this book. I love this method of highlighting chapters and verses that speak to my soul.

I bought these as Christmas gifts for all the beautiful, God-fearing ladies in my life. What I LOVE about this book, is that there are instructions, ideas, traceable words and letters, and templates. This is an all-in-one book! So if you've never journaled in your Bible, this book has all you need to get started. It's perfect if you are not artistic, but long to be! This shows you how and provides the tools you need to do it! I think after using this book, you should become comfortable enough to branch out and try other methods from the books out there that are just instructional. I will continue to buy this for birthdays and gifts, I believe in it that much. I am an artist with a degree in interior design, and this is my choice for all beginners and intermediates for your Bible journaling toolbox! Hands down! If you can't even draw a straight line, this is the book for you! Awaken the artist within!!Besides, it's the act of worship that our Lord delights in, not artistic perfection. :)

This book is absolutely beautiful! 🥰❤️❤️❤️Just what I needed. I am new to bible journaling and She teaches so many different ways you can be creative. Even if you aren’t that artsy it’s very easy to follow.The author is amazing! Great quality book. Love the bonus material added in the back: Bible tabs, stencils, stickers, traceable designs and much more. Honestly this book is worth so much more in my opinion. Hands down a Must have!

I was raised in the "don't write in your Bible" tradition, so using a highlighter pencil in it was a brave act for me. But I discovered this book when the author posted about in a group I'm in and I took the plunge. I am thrilled that I did. First, it is simply beautiful and inspiring in and of itself. I love the different projects and have even thought about incorporating one of the projects into my hymnal because we sometimes get "tear sheets" for songs that I quickly learn to love.Your tradition doesn't matter; there is something here for everyone who has wanted to more creatively engage with the Word of God. Best money I have spent in a long, long time.

This is a beautiful art technique “how to” book. At first I checked it out from my local public library, but found I really wanted a copy to have as a reference all the time. I am new to Bible journaling and the author provides an abundance of techniques to use to express one’s understanding and insight gained when reading the Bible. I especially appreciate finding out what works well on Bible paper, as it is typically very thin. I didn’t want to wreck the pages in my brand new Bible with bleeding through, etc. This was a good buy for me.

The Art of Bible Journaling gave me the confidence I needed to start journaling on my own. I love the step by step instructions and all the resources that Erin provides. Great investment!!

Erin shares a range of techniques, tips, and tricks to encourage artists, crafters, and wannabes at all skill levels to jump in wherever they feel comfortable. Don't have a lot of money for art supplies? One page uses crayons for a fabulous outcome. The examples are explained step by step with pictures. Best message from my perspective....this art is about the message I am hearing from God today, nobody else has to see, understand, or approve it! I am going to start in a journaling New Testament I bought for this purpose rather than the family bible.....kind of regret not having the Old Testament after seeing some of Erin's work but I decided to go with thicker pages and didn't want a weighty tome. Thanks, Erin!

This book is PERFECT for beginners! The author is so mindful, thoughtful, thorough, honest and inspiring! I am so excited to start this new journey and am so thankful for her for sharing all of this information! It is full of God's truth and love!
