30 Days to Peace: A One-Month Creative Journal from Waterbrook

If you enjoy creative journaling, I think you will enjoy 30 Days to Peace. As the introduction says, In our busy and loud lives, it's easy to get sucked into the pandemonium and ignore the life-giving breeze of peace. That's what this journal is for."

I reviewed 30 Days to Joy on October 27. This book is quite similar. The two make good companions and would make a nice gift tied together with a ribbon and a bundle of pretty pens/pencils for a creative friend or family member. There are pages with questions to answer such as: "Why do you think God calls us to have peace within our own hearts and to live peacefully with those around us? and "Reflect on a time recently when you truly felt at peace." There are others that allow you to use other creative ways to illustrate the journal prompt such as this one, "On these two pages, depict mundane activities whose regularity and steadfastness bring you peace." You could choose to write an answer to that one or to draw, attach a photograph, or make a collage. The journal writers stress that there are no wrong answers. At the end of the journal, there are pages to write a playlist of your favorite peaceful songs. They encourage you to make a list on Spotify. Then there are a couple of pages to write what you have learned from the journal, where you want to go next in life, and your own "about the author" page.

I really like these little journals. 30 Days to Peace has some good prompts to help you think both to write and to create.  This small book would be easy to use at home or traveling. The pages are fairly thick, although I did not try to use markers in the book so I do not know if there would be any bleed-through. I tend to use colored pencils and collage on my creative pages. I would encourage anyone who enjoys art journaling or creative journaling to give it a try.

I received 30 Days to Peace from Blogging for Books. I was not required to write a positive review in exchange for the book.
