This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by Reformation Heritage Books, a name that ought to be familiar to you by now. And they are giving away a prize that proved pretty popular the last time they did a similar giveaway. They have 5 prize packages to win, and each package will consist of 8 Journibles.
What are Journibles? Well, they are what happens when you smash a Bible into a journal. “The idea comes from Deuteronomy 17:18, where God commands the kings of Israel to hand-write their own copy of the Torah, or book of the law. The purpose of this was so that they would carry it with them always, read it, learn from it, and lead the people accordingly. It’s interesting to note that 3400 years later, educators have been discovering that most people learn kinesthetically, by doing or writing things out for themselves. As you open the book, you will see chapter and verse numbers on the right-hand pages. These are conveniently spaced according to the length of each verse. However, these pre-formatted lines are left blank for you to hand-write your Journible book of yourself.”
It’s kind of a neat idea, really. As you read the Bible, you get to write it out on your own–a great way of enhancing understanding and retention, and you also get to take your own notes. Pretty cool, eh?
So far there are currently 15 in the series and the winners will each receive 8 of them.
