New Year, New Goals...

Happy New Year friends!

It's a new year and so many of us will have new goals and achievements we are working towards this year.

So, in this week's blog I want to share with you my exciting new projects for this year...

In addition, I thought I'd do a quick recap on all my books to help you with any New Year Goals/Resolutions you might have!

So let's start by telling you about my New Year plans...

This year 2 NEW books will be added to my website! Firstly, A Recipe Book will be arriving to AKJ's Creative Library soon...but this isn't any ordinary recipe book, it has a fun twist to it! It is a combination of a recipe book and a journal... I don't want to reveal too much about it yet, but keep an eye out for more details about it coming soon...

The second book is another Bible based journal - The Bible Reading Journal! This journal is designed to help us all with our Bible study, by sharing with you the techniques I use for my personal Bible study. The aim of the journal is to encourage everyone that Bible study can be accessible, fun and enjoyable for us all to do! Studying the Bible doesn't have to mean reading lots of different bible based books and getting confused, but rather it can arise simply out of reading the Bible and thinking about what we have read. This aspect is what I portray in the journal, and is why I decided to call it "The Bible Reading Journal" rather than including the word "study" in the title.

In addition, these two new books and the newest addition to my library - The Scripture Journal, will soon be available to buy on the Lulu bookstore, to enable shipping of the books internationally too!

My other big project for 2024 is to rebrand my Etsy shop! Throughout this year I will be adding digital downloads to my Etsy shop, including Bible journalling sheets, Bible reading and writing plans, and organisational and inspirational downloads too.

So finally, let's have a quick recap about my current books and how you can benefit from them in 2024!

"Casting all your care upon him..." Books 1 and 2.

£14 each

These anxiety Self - Help books are my two best sellers and are ideal to start the year off with if you struggle with anxiety. These are a series of 2 books, each covering 6 months of the year, and are packed full of daily encouragement from the Bible. This encouragement is in various forms such as thoughts about Bible verses, poems, puzzles, Bible verse photos, activity pages and more.

Whilst these books are designed to help those who suffer with anxiety, based on what I have found helpful from my own experience, they can also be helpful for anyone who is struggling and needs some encouragement.

Previews of inside the book and how to purchase it, can be found on this website - on the "Self-Help Books" section.

Nurturing the Young - Homeschooling Planner

£10

Again, this planner is based on my own experience of being homeschooled. In this book, I share advice and recommendations from my homeschooling experience, along with providing a variety of planning pages to help those who are thinking about or are starting their homeschooling journey.

Previews of inside the book and how to purchase it, can be found on this website - on the "Planners" section.

Journals

Last year I published my first two journals - The Bible Verse Writing Journal, and The Scripture Journal.

If you love writing and creativity, these journals are perfect for you!

The Scripture Journal

£12

This journal is perfect to start the year off with! Inside it you will find a variety of Bible themed content for each month of the year, including creativity pages for you to write or draw on whatever you wish, colouring pages, puzzles, poems, monthly mood trackers, to do list pages, Bible character studies, gratitude pages, monthly goals and more... Throughout the journal, there are lots of encouraging Bible verses to read to inspire you and lift your mood.

The Scripture Journal is a great option if you enjoy various different activities rather than just one specific activity. It's fun to complete and encourages a mindful approach, by giving you some time to relax and unwind from life's stresses.

Previews of inside the book and how to purchase it, can be found on this website - on the "Journals" section.

And finally...

The Bible Verse Writing Journal

£9.99

The concept of this journal is simple, beautiful and effective! This journal comprises of a variety of decorative pages for you to write down your favourite Bible verses and note down some points of encouragement which they give you.

The Bible Verse Writing Journal is a great tool to help us to think about and remember Bible verses, to give us encouragement throughout each day. By writing Bible verses down, this enables us to look back at these verses whenever we need help and encouragement.

I hope you found this guide helpful. If you have any questions feel free to contact me, and also take a look at the various sections on this website to find out more about all my books and previews of inside them.
