Advent Illustrated: Waiting 'Round the Wreath: Revised and Expanded
The bestselling Advent study of 2016 is back!
This updated and expanded version of the popular Advent Bible journaling study 'Advent Waiting 'Round the Wreath' includes a four-week Bible art journaling challenge, accompanying videos and musical playlists, and several Advent activities.
WHAT IS ADVENT ILLUSTRATED?
Advent Illustrated is a four-week Bible journaling challenge through the season of Advent. There are two Journey Through the Bible (originally published in 2015) and Waiting 'Round the Wreath (originally published in 2016). This is an updated version of Waiting 'Round the Wreath, which guides Christian creatives through the traditional Advent weekly themes of hope, peace, joy, and love.
WHAT IS BIBLE JOURNALING?
Bible journaling is a form of devotional art, in which people make art in the margins or pages of their Bibles, or in separate notebooks if they’re so inclined.
HOW CAN ART BE A DEVOTIONAL PRACTICE?
God is the Creator, and we were created in God’s image. That means that we, too, are creative beings! More than that, we were created to be in relationship with God. Devotional practices are a way to build that relationship. And when those devotional practices involve creativity, especially if that creativity incorporates the Bible, it can be a great way to connect with God for those of us who tend to be ‘makers.’
What I especially love about Bible journaling is that it can make the Bible feel more accessible to those who struggle to relate to the text. I know many people have a hard time making sense of the Bible or creating a personal devotional practice with it. I think part of that is because it feels so sacred to us. It’s ancient, it’s complex, and it’s holy — we’re afraid to “do it wrong.” But Bible journaling creates a new way for us to relate to scripture. It lets you turn off the worried, overthinking part of your brain, and respond to God’s word in a way that is emotional, relational, and creative.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
- A 74 page booklet guiding you through the four weeks of Advent
- 6 different plans, customized to your schedule
- Six accompanying videos
- Musical playlists and songs cultivated to go alongside the Advent study
- Supplemental Christmas activities and recipes
