Are you looking to revive your quiet times in God’s Word or try something new? You are going to love Heart & Hive’s Guided Bible Journal.

I first met Melissa at a Christian bloggers’ conference way back in 2012. And over the years, we have spent time together in a mastermind group, we have supported each other through book launches and I had the pleasure of helping with her first Bible study release by throwing a very special book launch party. She and I also partnered on a fun blog series on hospitality. I have always admired Melissa’s heart for women, for the Word of God and the Gospel. She is such a special lady and I’m honored to call her a friend.
So when I saw Melissa was doing something new, I had to take a look. And friends, I am loving her latest project!
Meet the Heart & Hive Guided Bible Journal created by Melissa Deming:
Melissa is a Bible teacher, author of three discipleship books for women and the founder of HiveResources.com. She is a wonderful writer and communicator of God’s truth.
This Guided Bible Journal uses the inductive study method. If you’re familiar with OIA (observation, interpretation, application), that is exactly what Melissa’s journal walks you through as you break down any passage of Scripture. If OIA is new to you, don’t worry because Melissa does a beautiful job of explaining it and getting you started.
Here is what you’ll find inside:
- “Getting Started” instructions
- A repetitive 2-page template that walks you through looking at any passage in the Bible using the inductive study method (90 days)
- A place for your prayer list
- A passage tracker
- A reflections page at the end of each 30 days
And let me tell you, I am so impressed by the quality of this journal. It is well-made, well-designed and fun to use!
I have been using the journal for over a week now and I have found a breath of fresh air as I dig into God’s Word. I am a big fan of structured Bible studies, devotionals and that sort, but it is so good to get into God’s Word on your own and make your own discoveries. That is precisely what this journal is made to do.
You select the passage and then start recording in your journal what you find. From the observations of what you’re reading, interpreting what the author is saying to applying the passage principles to your own life, you will love digging into God’s Word and letting it speak to you directly.
There are no hard fast rules for this. You can choose whichever passage or book you want to study. I started in the book of Romans. Some days, I take three verses. Other days, I work through six or seven. But every day, I see something I can apply to my life. I’m loving it.
Plus . . . stickers!!
Yes, that is right. Melissa also has an accompanying sticker book! I am loving this addition because I can use the stickers to embellish my notes as I am working through a passage or I can pop them into my planner. Who doesn’t have fun with stickers?
The whole set is just lovely!! And I am so excited because Melissa is offering a 20% discount to our readers! But don’t wait around to get your purchase in because the discount is only good through Monday, November 19, 2018.

I’ve always wanted one of these!
Don’t you love them? They are so cute and so practical for helping someone study God’s Word. I just bought the pink one using the discount code!
I struggle with really meditating on scripture during my quiet time. This would be so helpful!
It is so helpful! I am getting more out of my time spent on a few verses with this method than just straight reading a longer passage.
I’ve been looking for something like this!
Mary, it is great! You would love it! I just bought the pink one she offers too – the discount code is too good to pass up. 🙂
Wow love this idea. I struggle with perfection when I study the Bible.
I would absolutely love to win this guided journal bible for several reasons. God has been putting a lot on my heart lately when it comes to prioritizing my time with Him… and the importance of getting into His word every day. I have to protect my heart and mind with His truth and teachings, so I can step away from what the enemy tries to put in my head. I can shut out fears, doubts, and insecurities when I really dig into who God says I am, etc. This journal seems perfect for me, because sometimes I struggle with digesting scripture and exactly what it’s trying to say, in context. My brain can get scrambled, and I know/hope this could help me organize my thoughts. Thank you for this opportunity to win the journal, and good luck to everyone!!
This looks like a great way for me to learn how to study the Bible instead of just reading it. My husband says I need to learn the difference.
