Scripture Journal

Hi, My name is Alex. And I'm a journal hoarder.

For a while now I've been eyeing some scripture journals at Deseret Book. I like the format of several of them but it's so hard to justify paying $20 when I know I can make one that's similar. 

So that's exactly what I did.

I scoured through as many journals as I could find and then pulled the best pieces to form my ultimate scripture journal. Here's how it turned out.

I opted for a binder format. This will allow me to add or take out pages as necessary. I like the versatility of it; I plan on using this for years so it'll be nice to know I can write as much as I want to and not have to worry about running out of space. 

This journal is specifically for the Book of Mormon but you could also do it by topic or other books of scripture. I divided everything by Book so that I could easily find each chapter if I want to go back and add quotes, references, etc.

Each chapter has a Study page and Lesson page. The Study page includes specific items such as people in the chapter, principles, other related scriptures, and definitions. There is also a section for personal reflections; a place to write promptings, ideas, or things to pray about. 

At the end I did a couple pages to write my Testimony. This could be used to write your testimony as you go, or to write before and after; however you want to use it.

I've only done a couple chapters so far but it has been such a great experience. A tool like this will come in handy once the husband and I have children of our own. A good scripture journal can become the ultimate teaching tool.
