Have you ever gone through a season of reading books about God's Word, only to conclude that what you needed wasn't someone else's interpretation, but your own experience with Scripture? That's where I was, and I wasn't relating to what various popular authors had to say about the Scripture. I wasn't in the same seasons or circumstances in life. So, I decided to read chronologically through the Bible, to really understand God's Story, and how He might reveal more of Himself to me through it. As I read and studied, certain verses jumped off the page, encouraging my artistic side to engage as well. The result is in your hands. Through this creation, I pray that it will help you to have your very own personal experience with God and that he would help you to engage with His Word in a unique and personal way as well.
