I was asked by Erin Bassett to review her new book called "The Art of Bible Journaling." Of course, I jumped on the chance to see what she has been up to! As a fellow BSFer, I was excited to look at her book. Well, I was not disappointed. Her book starts from the ground up. It walks you through choosing a Bible including different translations, selecting Bible passages to journal, how to handle mistakes, and she also introduces you to tools and materials to use. All of that is then followed by 60 step-by-step techniques with photographs to walk you through each one! The instructions and photographs are very clear. This makes it very simple for a first-time Bible journaler to dig in and get started. And even if you have been Bible journaling for a while, there are still fun and new things to learn from Erin's book. She also shows you how to incorporate lots of supplies that you probably already have on hand. And to finish off this 159-page book, there are stickers, a ruler and stencils for tracing, traceable art, vellum, and die cuts for you to use. This book has it all for anyone to Bible journal. And if you are one that does not want to journal in your Bible, not a problem. Erin gives you other options too. There are plenty of techniques for beginners to experienced alike.
I am teaching a class at our church this summer, and I will be using this book for people to use, reference, etc. I am sure once getting their hands on it, that they too will want their own copies. I highly recommend it. You can purchase it on Amazon by clicking here. Read the reviews there also as some people have included pictures of their own journaling after using the book. Out of 39 reviews thus far, Erin has received 5 stars on her book. I too would give it 5 stars! It is also available at Barnes & Noble, Hobby Lobby, and Joann's. If you would like to see more about Erin, you can visit her blog here. Thanks for joining me, and thanks to Erin for the opportunity to review this wonderful book!
