I recently ran across the concept of a Bible Journal. I think it would appeal to many people who like altered art type journals and adult coloring books. It seems from most of the pictures that I have seen a lot of the people doing it are using bibles with wide side margins to allow the art to not completely take over the text.
I’m giving it a try by using
one of the many bibles that I own. The one I chose has some extra space in the
side margin but not a lot. The point is to study the bible and create a visual
to represent what was important to you. I admit it’s hard to write in my bible.
I am reserved about underlining text, let alone using art supplies to color in
the margins and cover portions of the text. I figure as long as I’m not using
my main bible, I could take the risk. I find bibles all the time at thrift
stores, so if you decide to give it a try there are low cost bibles available.
I don't think I could do it like some of the pictures I've seen, although they are beautiful. The concept does make me feel a freedom to be more expressive in my bible than what I would normally do. I’ll be sticking to the margins and not cover up text in one of my extra bibles.
Have you heard of a Bible
Journal? Or do you have one?
