Doodle Devotional : 8 Weeks of Drawing Closer to God for Visual Thinkers and Everyday Doodlers

The Doodle Devotional is an eight week devotional study that will give you a new way to interact with Scripture and deepen your commitment to God. Author, artist, and painter Anthony Thaxton shares his wonderful God-given artistic gifts alongside memorable Scripture verses and thoughtful daily devotionals. This isn’t just a one-sided artistic journey but one where the reader can create their own doodles and artistic drawings with helpful prompts from Anthony. Doodle Devotional is for everyone who wants to marry their love of Scripture with visual art and expression, from the serious artist to the amateur doodler.
