If you’re looking for Bible journaling ideas, I have fifty amazing bible journal pages to share.
Bible journaling is the art of keeping visually creative notes in your Bible. Bible journaling allows you to read and study the word of God in a fun and unique way.
Some people ask how can you read the words when you have paint or pencils covering the text. Well, some ensure that the colors are transparent enough to still read the text, while others have two Bibles. One for journaling and one for reading.
If you’re ready to be inspired, check out these creative Bible journaling ideas.
