Book Description
BIBLE JOURNALING FOR GROWN FOLKS: HAVING LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY BOOK REVIEWS Dr. Scarborough has produced a spiritually edifying and exceedingly practical tool for all of those who desire to grow as followers of Jesus Christ. This work helps us to focus our hearts on God’s word so that we can align our expectations to his promises. It reminds us that God’s desire for us is indeed abundant in every aspect of life. I wholeheartedly recommend this journal to everyone who needs encouragement, strength, and more fuel for your faith. You will be better at the end of your journey through this book than you were before you started. Reverend Dr. Phillip L. Pointer Sr., DMin Pastor, Saint Mark Baptist Church; Little Rock, AR The Bible journaling format and outline in this book gives the reader a time to engage the scripture in a meaningful way. The definitions, weekly study scriptures, and the journal themes all build upon each other. The ease of following the outline is what connected with me the most. I believe this will make Bible journaling a common practice for those new to the tradition. Many times, people want to journal and study the Bible but do not know how to begin. This edition of Bible Journaling from The Heart – Having Life More Abundantly focuses on the reader igniting their faith and believing God for more. I encourage anyone who wants to grow in their faith and in their knowledge of the Word of God to begin journaling with this book as their guide. As Dr. Scarborough says, “Regardless of what you have been through or what you have done, let your studying and your writing in this Bible journal therapeutically and spiritually revive you, assure you, and be evidence that God’s Word is true.” Dr. Carla J. Debnam, MS, DMin, LCPC Executive Director, The Renaissance Center; Baltimore, MD Focusing on Having Life More Abundantly, this issue of Bible Journaling for Grown Folks eloquently epitomizes the broadness and depth of Dr. Scarborough’s theological education. As one personally committed to journaling daily to record meaningful memories, I was inspired to see that this book shares contextual references designed to provide deeper insight spiritually and therapeutically into scripture. She offers excellent choices of weekly topics and comparable scriptures to prompt inner thought to facilitate easy journaling, as well as enhance one’s personal meditation without having to search for a relevant scripture in the Bible. Over the course of a year, a diligent journalist will indeed experience life more abundantly while reflecting on the featured topics, including health, wealth, forgiveness, love, wisdom, restoration, joy, peace, gratitude, service, worship, and favor. Used faithfully, this book will change your life and bring you a sense of hope, peace, and purpose as you strive to have life more abundantly and strengthen your relationship with God.
