Bible Journaling 101: The Best Subscriptions for Supplies and Ideas
Updated by Shannon Ratliff
The margins of Bibles everywhere are now colorful landscapes of devotion and religious inspiration. Worshippers have embraced the practice of, simply, writing in Bibles. The Illustrated Faith trend is an artistic and tangible way to connect with Scripture on the Bible pages themselves. Bible journaling supplies, however, are so much more than yellow highlighters.
These days, amazing artwork with colored pencils, gel pens, watercolor paint, washi tape, acrylic paint, and micron pens decorate God's word. With all the introspective doodling, a faith-based subscription box and an arts and craft subscription box go hand-in-hand with the routine. If you know someone who is already Bible journaling, we have gift suggestions for the Christian woman below.
What are the benefits of bible journaling?
Bible journals help believers remain intentional about the messaging. The ability to pause, to draw while reading is the biggest takeaway many Bible journalers gush about. Instead of taking notes elsewhere, they feel like interacting with the Creator in an intimate, conversational way.
What supplies are needed for Bible journaling?
Bible art journaling
Bible journal supplies can be whatever medium you feel most comfortable or inspired to pick up that day. Bible paper is notoriously thin, so you'll want to pick up an actual Bible journal, like the ESV Single Column Journaling Bible, to dive into the world of embellishments. Stencils, paintbrushes, and watercolor pencils are creative ways practicers connect with the books of the Bible on the page when it comes to vibrant shapes.
Bible note-taking
For note-taking, specific Bible journaling pen sets with fine tips are a popular choice among Bible study groups. Printables and Prismacolor-decorated Bible tabs anchor the text among journaling pages that range from pastel to black for a fun bright pigment gel pen effect.
What is the best Bible journaling kit and where can you buy it?
We think that the perfect Bible journaling kit is a combination of a faith-based subscription box and a journaling subscription box so you never have to think twice about supplies.
It's hard enough to reserve moments in this busy life for introspection in your faith. Let some of our favorite sellers give you the time back in your day to put some pigment on the page.
