The Apostle Paul has been beaten, abused, shipwrecked, and snake-bitten. After narrowly escaping an assassination attempt, he is falsely accused as an enemy of the empire and arrested. Under the watchful eye of a Roman guard, Paul awaits a trial with Caesar who may sentence him to death. Yet despite their best efforts, Rome’s rulers cannot silence Paul. He bravely puts pen to parchment and writes to the Christians in Philippi who were facing their own set of problems. Written under such dire circumstances, we might expect a letter full of complaints or cries for help. Instead, Paul’s letter to the Philippians has been inspiring Christians around the world for thousands of years. Rejoice. Press on. Shine like stars. Thank God. Again, I say, rejoice. In Philippians: A Bible + Doodle Study for Students you’ll read inspired words written to encourage Christians who desperately needed God’s presence and help. Through prayer, study, and doodling you’ll find truths for your life today, no matter what you are facing. You will be encouraged, and your faith will be strengthened. And like Paul, the Philippians, and millions of Christians before, you will discover the secret to lasting joy.

The Apostle John had walked with Jesus for three years. He saw first hand the power Jesus displayed when casting out demons, stilling the storm, and raising Lazarus from the dead. He heard the parables, the prayers, and the preaching. And he felt – deep in his heart – the vast, incomprehensible love of God. John was radically changed by those days with Jesus. Once a selfish, hot-headed, self-promoting fisherman, he was transformed into a humble, patient, Christ-following pastor. This is his letter. In 1 John: A Bible+Doodle Study for Students you will read the letter John wrote to Christians who needed to know the Jesus that John knew so well. At a time when false teachers were spreading lies about Jesus and the gospel, John wrote to remind his doubting congregation of the simple, transforming truth they believed. God is light, life, and love. Jesus is the Messiah. You are forgiven, victorious, and know the truth. You are a beloved child of God. Through prayer, study, and creative doodling and journaling, you too will be reminded of the simple truths of this unchanging message that has the power to transform hearts and lives. Your heart will be awed by the relentless love of God. You will learn to walk in His ways and love like He loves. And like John’s first readers, you will find lasting assurance and joy in being God’s child.
