2.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring but lacks practical application, July 31, 2007

I ordered this book before I had an opportunity to browse through it and I was disappointed. It's more of a look into the author's personal faith journey than a book on instruction. I found her journalling inspiring but it didn't help me in my scrapbooking because there are no step by step instructions. The book is mostly digital layout, which is disappointing for me because I'm not into digital - had I known that before I purchased the book, I wouldn't have ordered it.

5.0 out of 5 stars NOW, I see a good reason to begin scrapbooking!, August 9, 2007

I have never gotten into scrapbooking despite having many friends who love it. It always seemed like a nice hobby, but not something that I wanted to invest my time in... until reading through this book. I am a creative person and enjoy art with a purpose. This book is full of wonderful ideas and creative layouts. It's not a step-by-step book, but I don't need someone to guide me through the process of putting it together. I need examples to spark my imagination and give me ideas. I won't be duplicating any of the pages, but I'm now bursting with my own ideas and can't wait to get started at sharing the hard times that God has brought me through, the lessons He's taught me, and the wonderful things that He has done in my life and the lives of those who are dear to me. Thank you, Courtney, for a wonderful book! From a sister in Christ, Faith Kemper

so, there are a bunch of 5-star reviews for this book and one 2-star. and all the reviews are right. the 2-star reviewer notes that this is largely personal faith stories, not how-tos: and she's totally right. if you are looking for step-by-step instructions, this is not your book.

what this book does is basically show very clear photos of faith pages created by a number of women contributors (their bios are at the back of the book). you see the photo, and the women describe the page and the story behind it in the adjoining text. the photos can give you inspiration to make your own, and the content allows you to think about new ideas for pages or studies you might want to make in your own faithbook-- so that's valuable. it's also just sort of inspirational to read a bit about these women's stories.

but, no, it's not a how-to. but it's really good for what it is.
