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.

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.

Full of beautiful colorful pictures that will truly inspire you to explore your faith. This book gave me great ideas on how to scrapbook my spiritual walk with God. I would certainly recomend to any scrapbooker and to anyone of Faith. One of the best I have purchased/read.

I love the ideas in this book. I am so inspired and ready to begin my own scrapbook about my faith journey. There are several scrapbook styles represented so they don't all look alike and the chapters are broken down into categories that make sense and are easy to follow. If you are at all interested in this type of project, then you NEED this book!

This book is inspirational! I cannot wait to start my own spiritual scrapbook using some of the ideas in this book.

This is the best Faith Scrapbooking Idea book out there - I own several, and keep coming back to this one. When I first got it, I read it straight through - it was so inspiring. If you're going to purchase an idea book for a faith or "me" album - this is the way to go!!!

I was pleasently surprised with this book. Nice gallery for ideas and motivation. I do recommend it.

This book has been around for several years, but it has endured well doesn't feel as dated as some do. As other reviewers have commented, this is not a how-to guide with step-by-step instructions. But there is so much in here to guide and inspire.

The layouts themselves show a wide variety of styles, and I love the visual index listing all the supplies at the end of the book - very useful. The chapters cover different angles and aspects of faith, which can be helpful in figuring out what topic(s) to cover in faith-based layouts and projects. The words at the start of each chapter provide further inspiration and ideas, as do the words that go with each layout.

I have scraplifted layouts from this book, used others as springboards to take my ideas further, and been inspired, challenged and encouraged by what I read. I highly recommend it.

Good way to think about bringing my faith into my books, as well as be a witness to those around me as to what is really important to me!
