The Illuminated Word
Just as medieval monks brought the Scripture to life through intricate inked illustrations in handwritten manuscripts, you can now create your own masterpiece of color and design. Copy Scripture as a spiritual exercise or record your own thoughts and prayers on the pages. Your words and art will unite to create a keepsake that will be a treasure for years to come.

MY THOUGHTS
Faith & Lettering from Krystal Whitten is absolutely gorgeous with its beautiful hardcover, cloth fuscia cloth spine, and a varied of dot, blank and lined pages. Add in the encouraging and great quotes beautifully lettered and drafted, it's one journal that will not only inspire, but be used frequently as well. I especially appreciated the instructive pages that allowed users to trace, and learn to letter.
The Illuminated Word is one journal that makes me want to visit museums that exhibited old manuscripts. It's amazing to see the vibrancy of such old documents and books, and knowing that it took a long time to create. With this journal, it's art in itself, but it also encourages us to color and write in it with lined and coloring pages.
Illuminate Your Story is physically shorter and narrower by about an inch than the other two journals. Like Faith & Lettering, it included "create your own" instructional pages that allow users to test their hand and learn lettering. The style here is a bit more ornate than freestyle, but it also includes lined pages, allowing free flow of ideas and encourages notation of any kind. Add in the inspiring quotes by famous people like Billy Graham and Abraham Lincoln, this is one journal that will get tons of use.
In all, I find each of their journals unique in their own way, and I can imagine using them with a different subject matter for each. I'm particularly in love with the fact that they can all open and lay flat! It's a big one for those who enjoy journaling. Each of these are great journals that will make great gifts for yourself or others.
