The Devoted Life: A Creative Devotional Journal
by Marjorie Jackson - Coloring books have become popular for teens and adults in recent years, and there's been some emphasis on journaling as well, especially Bible journaling. But it can be hard to know where to start. This creative journal is targeted to teen girls and is a nice balance of guidance and space for creative expression, and would make a good keepsake as a reminder of commitments made and prayers answered.
The journal is a slim volume with an elegant leather-look cover. After the introduction, teen author Marjorie Jackson offers thirty-one devotional sections. Each section has a devotional thought about a page and half long, along with some relevant Scripture. Then there are two pages of journaling prompts with room for you to write down your own thoughts, questions, favorite Scriptures, and prayers on the topic. Each section also features some coloring book style artwork with Scripture as well. The topics covered include aspects of Christ-like living such as Prayer, reading the Bible, Setting an Example, and Ministry; developing godly relationships (Forgiveness, True Love, Being a Good Friend); and topics especially important to many young women today - Identity, Standing Up for What's Right, and True Beauty.
I enjoyed looking through this beautiful devotional journal, and was pleasantly surprised that my seventeen-year-old daughter seemed eager and excited to have it. She was especially pleased to see one of the Scripture illustrations featuring a favorite verse that has been the focus in our youth group for several years: Above all else, guard your heart for everything you do flows from it. (Proverbs 4:23)
From the publisher:
Come Experience It for Yourself . . . Life Is Good With a God Who Is Great!
This topically guided creative journal for teen girls offers inspiration and encouragement for those who desire to live their lives fully devoted to Christ. Amidst the loud, confusing voices of the world, trying to tell them which way is the right way to go, girls need to stop, rest, refuel, and reflect in the presence of their truest Friend and most loyal heavenly Father. Whether it's through creativity, meditating on scripture, prayer, or writing, readers will join young author and artist, Marjorie Jackson, for a time of life-giving fun, faith-strengthening encouragement, and God-glorifying growth. As girls connect with their first love, Jesus, they will begin to understand that life is truly good with a God is absolutely great!
