It's hard to imagine how a simple cloth-covered journal could garner such praise, but after having purchased and completed two Scribe journals, I see it as more of a tool than a notebook. There was tremendous thought and research (especially on establishing and maintaining habits) that went into the format of this Bible journal, and each page is structured to support all of the ways in which we read and apply Scripture. As much as I appreciate those spaces to write out and prayerfully 'chew' on different portions that I read, I also love the other small details that have become so impactful to my walk - a 2-year Bible reading plan (which covers both OT and NT passages in any given week), a place to plan out my next day's reading, beautiful quotes at the top of each page, and a two-spread weekly review that allows me to regularly reflect on my walk. I've gone through so many devotionals, notebooks, and personal systems that either reached an 'end' and didn't have more room for me to grow (like some thematic studies), or didn't directly address some of the barriers that prevent regular meditation and therefore didn't last. This is the only system that has allowed me to create and sustain this life-giving habit of reading and praying through God's Word that I can foresee using for years to come. Plus, it's beautiful and well-built to boot. Highly, highly recommend.
