Developing a System & Using the Right Tools

Develop a Personal System

By marking your Bible, you have a tangible record of your spiritual growth, recording how the Lord has uniquely spoken to you.

• Mark and write according to your life.
• When it comes to marking your Bible, you have tremendous freedom to write in and highlight truths that will dramatically impact daily living. 
• The key is to create a personalized approach that will benefit you.
• Change as you see fit – if you want to highlight areas that speak to being a mom, being a grandparent, perhaps a teacher of RCIA, etc.
