Lauren from The James Method has created a GORGEOUS journal for this study method. If you are on Instagram - make sure you follow her.
Verse mapping is such a unique way to really draw into Scripture, ensuring that you understand what the verse is saying to you about who God is, what He has done, who you are in light of this, and what He desires from you/what He desires to do in and through you.
Verse mapping is a slowing down, as it can take a week or more, to work through one verse. I made my own journal, for now, because I wanted to make sure before I ordered one for each of us, we would/could use it. I totally plan on getting each of us one (maybe a great birthday surprise!).
I really cannot say enough good things about this method/journal. It is such a beautiful way to dig into the Word of God. The James Method utilizes multiple pathways to learn, using colors and shapes to further engage your attention and deepen your understanding. It is completely appropriate for those who struggle with learning challenges, disabilities, etc;
Here is my first attempt:
I am using 31 strategies for lasting heart change (a list of 31 verses about what God's Word shows us in regards to our heart) from WriteThemOnMyHeart.com for my verses. I used my study Bible (pictured below) that my mom gave me for Christmas 2019 😍💖😍, Blue Letter Bible, and BibleHub apps & websites. This list of 31 verses should/could take me the majority of 2021 to work my way through, and I can't think of a better way to spend my time!
