GROWTH BOOK
THE JOURNAL TO DOCUMENT YOUR YEAR OF GROWTH
What is it?
Growth Book is the journal to document your entire year of growth.
It's the yearly journal that you record all you learned on your walk with the Lord. Your impression of ink to paper that documents the area you covered, the road you traveled, the footsteps you took, the tears you cried, prayers you made, and verses you memorized.
It's the notes you took while watching sermons, listening to podcasts, and reading books. The book that holds an entire year worth of notes, petitions, confessions, growth, and adorations.
In the end, the words you leave behind from this journey will be a treasure to look back on for years to come, and such a great record of the legacy of growth you're leaving behind for your future generations.
It's your Growth Book.

It's designed to be appealing to both men and women.

How to use the topic labels
This section is meant to organize your longer lasting or frequent studies. Assign a topic to a number and then every time you're journaling about it you put the sticker on the side of the page you're journaling on. That way you never have to guess how many pages you may need to set aside for a study. You just keep journaling along.
What has changed from the old version?
More pages - To make it as thick as we could without creating a bulky unmanageable journal to carry around.
Thicker paper - For people that like to write in different pen colors, draw, or paint.
Lay flat - So you can more easily write without feeling like its closing on you all the time.
More durable cover - for those people (like myself) that can't bear to go anywhere without it and want to take it around with them everywhere.
More color options - so that everyone could find something they love. Now there are 4 colors with the potential of us doing limited edition releases of other colors throughout the year.
A thick pocket - on the back cover to hold all your stickers, and anything else you may want to put in there.
A bookmark - A nice matte satin finish

Are there prompts in Growth Book? Or, is it mostly blank pages?
Great question! There are several sections with specific headers like the "God's Faithfulness" pages, that are intended to be for those specific topics, but, the notes section is all dotted notepaper. And here's the exciting part about that!
The main point of how we created Growth Book was always to push you towards God. And we believe that if you're pressing into him, reading the bible and praying, asking, seeking, and knocking. God will not hesitate to open up the floodgates of knowledge, wisdom, and revelation on what to fill the pages with.
So, we designed it to be a canvas for you and God to get deep, and to listen to his voice and reflect on what he is saying to you. This also gives you the freedom to write, and journal in the way you feel God most. Whether that's writing poetry, songs, making charts, prayers, drawing or painting, the options are really endless.
We love to look at the dotted pages like a great opportunity to go on an adventure with God that no prompt or pre-written question could have ever anticipated. God's journey for you will be far grander, more extravagant, exciting, thrilling, and growthful that you ever could imagine.
And those blank pages will hold that treasured story for years to come.
Why is it important to journal?
The research says:
-Journaling or writing things down improves recall of what you heard or read because it forces you to quickly process and jot down short, descriptive notes. Since typing is faster, it is easier to write things down almost word for word therefore not allowing you to process any information.
-The act of physically writing things down activates both the right (creative, imaginative) and left (logic based, action taking) side of the brain, therefore making it more likely that you will achieve the goals you write down, and the plans you make.
-It engages more of our senses, which allows the information we're learning to stay in our brain longer, and sink deeper than it otherwise could have.
