Perfect for girls 8-12.

Review:
This book has been fun to review. It is also special, with that fact that I had help with this review. My kiddo was so excited to see this book when it came in. She grabbed it from my hands and spent several days reading and coloring in it. So, she is kindly offering her opinion on this book for me today.

To start off, I will say from my thought of this book, it is perfect for the ages mentioned, 8-12 is a good age for this devotional. The different pictures for each devotional offer enough to color and a time to think of the short passage for the day.

I'm turning over this part of the review now to the kiddo. She is going to give her opinion on the devotional now.

Kiddo:
This devotional helped me learn more about God. I liked how the coloring pages allowed for drawing and coloring. The peacock was my favorite page. The pages were easy to read. I did have to ask a couple of times over a couple of words, but I really enjoyed the coloring. It  helped in talking about the Bible in a way I could understand.

I love when I have something for the kiddo to help me to review. I enjoyed this devotional in that it made wanting to learn the scriptures for her more engaging. She is an artistic kid and this really connected with her.

Title: Scripture Doodle

Publisher: David C. Cook
Pages: 144
ISBN: 978-1-4347-1043-7
Publication Date: October 1st, 2016

Synopsis: 

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.

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

Review:
I will just start off by saying, I stink at having devotionals. I have tried and I have a hard time to sticking with plans. It is hard to do at time for me.

I have seen the journaling Bibles, but the idea of drawing in the Bible I can't get past. So when I saw this book pop up, I wanted to try it. I'm someone who is able to remember better when I'm able to write things out or doodle as I listen or read. This book offered the best of both of those worlds.

The book is a good size book, regular computer page sizes. easy to open and flip through. Each page is unique and fits the talking point of the devotional. I'm not much of an artist, so I kind of tip toed around the drawing pages, but there were plenty of pages for just coloring or using your imagination to fit with the topic of the devotional.

I definitely enjoyed diving into these pages. If you're like me and have trouble jump starting devotions, I say try Scripture Doodle to help offer a new avenue. With the ability to doodle, the devotional offered a wonderful array of topics and scripture.
