Sketching Scripture: Small Group Devotionals and Bible Illustrating Templates

In their debut compilation, April Roycroft and Lauren Reeves team up to offer a guide for small groups that is sure to draw participants closer to one another through real discussion while providing unique, scripture-based templates to help members transform the pages of their Bibles into living color.

This thought-provoking and artistic expedition through God's Word offers illustration templates, lettering techniques, an in-depth devotional, and discussion questions for each week. Each devotional encourages small groups to get real with one another through deep, personal discussion in a safe environment, while the illustration templates provide inspiration and guidance to create, paint, and color beauty inside the pages of the Bible.

So get together with your friends or church group and take a six-week journey that will be good for your heart, mind, and soul!

Lauren loves to encourage the heart of a person into a deeper walk with Christ. She believes the mind informs the heart and the will, so offering resources that are deep, full of truth, and fascinating is necessary. Cultivating a love for and reliance upon God's Word in people ranks as one of the biggest ways she wants to influence the body of Christ, and she has an extraordinary gift for explaining intimidating, theological ideas in easy-to-understand ways that keep the reader or listener wanting more.  

She has authored a book on Genesis titled Forgotten Faith: Awakening a Hope We No Longer Know and co-authored a small group Bible journaling book titled Sketching Scripture. 

Lauren is the co-host of Joy for the Journey Podcast with Tammy Whitehurst. She holds a master's degree in Christian Apologetics from NEW ORLEANS BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY and a bachelor of arts degree in Religion from BAYLOR UNIVERSITY.
