This is such a brilliant book. From a teacher’s perspective I will use this to show how religion is changing over time and how this is a way of connecting many parts of faith together.
However, this also strikes a chord spiritually. Too often respect is take to the extreme and holy books are left untouched. This method of engaging with the Bible is so immerseive that it will bring a complete new level of understanding to followers.
It would make a perfect Christmas present along side a copy of one of the Bibles mentioned.

This is a truly inspiring book! I cannot express just how much I loved it. Who would have thought that you could take the Bible and improve on it. This book shows you how to turn your bible into a something very personal. The ideas of how to express what the bible means to you are truly inspiring. I found hard to do this to my own bible right off. So I started with a copy bought from a second hand bookshop and have made a start coping some of the examples in this book. I am sure that once I feel confident I can return to my own bible and express my own thoughts and feelings. What a wonderful thing it will be for future generations to read and I hope do the same. I showed this to a friend and she has started to illustrate her favourite book of poetry in the same manner. Thank you for this advanced copy it has been inspirational .

Bible journaling is taken here on a completely new level. I have seen people doodling, underlining a little, but what I have seen in this book is so much more! It is a good idea resource of what to paint, what materials to use, how to make pages flat, how to prevent paint from bleeding, variety of different objects. There is a little bit of a spiritual aspect just enough to show how to connect the art with the Bible study. All the examples in the book are simply gorgeous! I loved every one of them. I wish my Bible looked this colorful!
