Book ReviewS - Scripture Doodle - A Six Week Devotional Experience

ABOUT THE BOOKS:

With inspiring exercises and prompts, this unique interactive guide introduces readers to a creative connection between Bible study, artistic expression, and worship.

Often, in the busyness of life, Christians forget that God created them to enjoy creativity. With guided instruction and completed examples, this beautiful book invites readers to draw closer to God through their own art.

More than a coloring book, ScriptureDoodle is a combination of Bible study, creative expression, and artistic community with artwork shared online at #scripturedoodle. Exploring topics such as being generous, finding rest, and facing grief, ScriptureDoodle gives the heart the creative space it needs. This book stimulates the reader's imagination and helps integrate God's Word into everyday life.


ScriptureDoodle God's Promises refreshes believers who are feeling burned out or stuck in a rut in their relationship with God. Each of the creative worship prompts in this interactive guide includes biblical encouragement and ideas for worship through art. Artist April Knight includes creative lettering tips, color ideas, and completed examples to inspire readers to respond to promises in Scripture related to trust, faith, and the power of God's Word in all circumstances.

This unique blend of Bible study and creative expression provides the opportunity to connect with God as Creator in a new, life-changing way.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

April Knight is a worship artist based in Asheville, North Carolina. Knight's work includes live worship painting and leading ScriptureDoodle workshops online and at conferences and retreats around the country and internationally. Her family of four is her greatest joy, along with serving alongside her husband at their local church.

MY REVIEW:

I absolutely LOVE these books!! They are so amazing and spark your creativity as well as bring you into a closer relationship with God.

The books are not just coloring books - they inspire you to be creative yourself and to use your creative time as a time of worship. I really like how she first shares how to use the book to gain the most out of it. Then she shares some tips on how to use colored pencils, the elements of the color wheel, and more. I found this incredibly helpful because sometimes staring at the blank page is intimidating and these tips helped me to know where to begin.

Each day, for six weeks, you are given a Scripture to focus on. Then there is a question to ponder and answer and an activity/exercise to do with our creativeness. Some days in the book, you will color in the already provided picture, however, most days, you will create your own art. I thought this was so wonderful because, although I like coloring, I really love creating my own art based on what the Scripture brings to my heart.

If you enjoy being creative during your quiet time and sharing your heart with God through your art, you'll love these books! They have totally transformed my quiet time and how I freely create in worship to God. I can't say enough wonderful things about these books! I give them 5 out of 5 stars.
