Draw Near

How can you find the space to be creative in your spiritual life? In Draw Near, Sophie Killingley presents a spiritual journal for creative Christians.

Engage the Bible

With an emphasis on engaging the Bible, this journal is meant for those who want to connect creativity with their faith, develop consistent patterns of Bible reading and prayer, and maintain better focus with sermons and quiet times.

I am a big fan of taking notes at church, and I think everyone should try writing and journaling just to see how it helps their spiritual life. Monthly artistic prompts can serve as themes to focus on, giving you Scripture to meditate on over 30 days.

Spark Creativity, Encourage Curiosity

Weekly sections include prayer request tracking, and it’s always encouraging to see how God answers prayers over periods of time. Every Sunday comes with a sermon notes section, including a Bible timeline so you can mark where you are in the teaching passage. What I most appreciated were the weekly suggestions – tips to form better spiritual habits.

This journal is perfect for youth and young adults who want to get serious about their spiritual life. For older saints, it will spark creativity and encourage curiosity. Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.
