My Thoughts
These journals are GORGEOUS! Such a creative take on journaling.
Illuminate Your Story is filled with information on the process and history of lettering. Like how the priests used to illustrate the Bible when they would hand copy the script. With step-by-step instructions, this journal will help you create your very own Illuminated Journal. With verses and pages for journaling, this is the perfect gift for the creative doodler. There are more pages for practicing lettering than there are for writing journal entries. A pen holder is included, as well as a bookmark and elastic band to keep the book closed.
Faith & Lettering takes journaling to a whole new level. With pages for writing standard journal entries, bullet journaling, pages with grid lines for practicing lettering, and lots of fun images to learn how to draw. I think this one is my personal favorite of the three. Fun, colorful, and a larger variety of styles. A pen holder is included. This book is filled with scripture and inspirational quotes that are beautifully crafted by the author.
The Illustrated Word has a very unique take. Filled with pictures of ancient illustrations on one page and a coloring book page inspired by the said picture on the next page. It is incredible to see the detail and intricacies of the ancient illustrations. The time and thought that had to have gone into each one is astounding. This journal is perfect for those who love coloring books. This journal also has the most lined pages for standard journaling.
My thanks to Worthy Publishing Group for providing complimentary copies of each of these journals. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
