Erika Quinn Radke- Bible Journaling

Erika Quinn Radke and husband Ryan and 

their two sons.

A bit of her Bible Journaling story from Erika:

I am enjoying Bible Study more than ever, 

now that I have started 

drawing and journaling in the margins of my Bible.

 I am now looking 

forward to the time I spend in my Bible  

and thinking about the

verses I will focus on, as I go about my day.

Not only am I studying 
my Bible more frequently,

 I am also concentrating 

on specific Scripture more intensely 

and for longer periods of time.

While I illustrate a page, 

I contemplate the words on that page, 

keying in on a few verses.

It is similar to how some people focus 

on a passage of Scripture while 

participating in Lectio Divina-

 sacred reading. 

(practiced also by Martin Luther)

Bible journaling has lit a spark in me. 

My three favorite things are :

Christ, family and art.

Bible Journaling allows me 

to combine my favorite things 

and that is so special.

My Bible is becoming personal,

 an album of faith and family. 

My bible

is now a place I go to relax,

have fun, create,

 listen and spend time with God.

Check out this process video that Erika 

has posted to see how she teaches weaving 

in her Bible to illustrate some specific Bible passages.
