title: FAITHfull: A Bible Art Journaling Study
author:  Valerie R Jackson 
description: Valerie R Jackson is an artist, author, and Bible instructor living with her husband, Johnny R Jackson, in Louisa, VA. She received her initial art training at East Carolina University, in Greenville, NC, and has exhibited her work in California, Texas and Japan. While she was living in Misawa, Japan, she began her ministry as a Bible instructor for the local chapels womens group, and conceived the idea of one day writing Bible studies. When she moved to Texas, she completed her education with a Bachelors Degree from Abilene Christian University and included a minor in Biblical Studies. But it was in 2015 when she discovered Bible Art Journaling that all three of her passions came together. Mrs. Jacksons blog, Off-Kilter Bible Studies, displays much of her wide-ranging, and sometimes quirky, ways of understanding scripture. She is delighted to finally merge her three callings in FAITHfull: A Bible Art Journaling Study.

  FOREWORD
  
  
  
  
  
  In complying with the request of my deceased cousin's wife, Mrs. Viola Chase
  Jackson, that I select from her husband's writings, and prepare for publi
  cation, enough articles of various kinds to constitute a memorial volume, the
  embarrassment has mainly been to decide among the competing merits of the
  numerous productions he has left. I have endeavored to reveal the diversity of
  his literary gifts and tastes by combining here a few sermons, lectures, and
  ad dresses. Want of space ruled out even one of his several excellent stories,
  since it seemed fiction ought to yield where so small a portion of his solid
  work could be included. More than one volume could be published from his
  sermonic lore which, I feel, would rank with the best pulpit thought of our
  times.
