Some of the most incredible stories in the Bible are of God’s promises and faithfulness to His children.
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.

The Scripture Doodle books by April Knight are so well done! The layout, the aesthetics, the instructions, and the guided prompts – all of these elements add to the overall excellence of the books. They are perfect for someone like me – someone who has seen (and drooled over) the gorgeous Bible/scripture journaling and doodling posts by uber-talented people and wants to do the same thing but also knows that, like math, art isn’t her gift. Knight gives you guidance and tips but most importantly gives you the freedom – and the knowledge – to take a Scripture verse and use “doodling” to help it take on even more personal meaning.
Bottom Line: Recently on Facebook, I posted a status about coloring books that fall into the category of “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.” (Anyone want to color The Golden Girls?) But the Scripture Doodle books by April Knight do NOT fall into that category! For starters, they are so much more than “coloring books” – they really are devotional books. And you won’t just sit there mindlessly coloring pictures set to Scripture either, though there is a time and place for that too. Instead, you are invited to engage with Scripture and are given the tools to make this kind of devotional experience a lifelong habit.
(I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.)
My Rating: 5 stars / Fantastic!

I love doodling and coloring while I think. This seems like something I would enjoy. Thanks for the review. 🙂
I’m not really a doodler but I really enjoy incorporating this into my devotional time. It does help me think of Scripture in a new way!
