Graceful By Design’s Bible Verse Mapping Journal is designed to help you dig deep into Scripture. Each order comes with 1 journal in the color you select.This is not a Bible study I have written, but a loosely guided journal with space for you to write your own notes. Inside, you will find a 4-page guided template for breaking down a Bible verse (or passage). It provides space to "map" the main keywords of a verse(s) in the language of its original (or earliest available) form to help better understand its meaning.Next, it prompts the user to provide some information about the verse's historical context, such as who wrote it, where and when it was written, and what was happening in that part of the world. Finally, it provides space to write about how the verse applies to your life, reflections, and prayer notes.This method will give you new confidence in studying God's word. This journal provides website references for research and commentary, Bible study topics, and detailed instructions with an example verse map. It includes 40 repeating-page sets of Bible verse map templates, providing a year’s worth of weekly Bible verse studies.The provided verse study topics include anxiety and fear, fruits of the spirit, spiritual growth, parenting, salvation, marriage, promises from God, anger, sadness, discontent, emptiness, and a section to create your own.The journal measures 10" x 7" to provide maximum writing space. Under each prompt/section, there are dotted sections (bullet-style) to facilitate creating your map and capturing your notes. Completing your verse mapping study will give you a unique and visually organized verse study to reference. Skills you will strengthen:·Identifying, defining, and completing an exegesis study of keywords·Researching the context of each verse·Understanding alternate Bible translationsTaking time for reflection, application, and prayer before, during, and after a verse study is also tremendously helpful. I love to color-code mine and even illustrate my reflections and study!
