“I am honored and delighted to share my recommendation and commendation for this work. Having known Dr. Scarborough for over 45 years, I have always been aware of her keen love for Christ, His church, her children, and now her grandchildren. Dr. Scarborough brings decades of education preparation and training to share with the wider Body of Christ. I highly recommend that this work be used in Vacation Bible School, Sunday School, Christian Schools, and personal family teaching. I am sure that it will be a blessing in exposing basic Bible teaching to this emerging generation."
Bible Journaling For Kids: Putting On The Full Armor Of God

“Bible Journaling for Teens is an important resource and tool for teens as they seek to develop and mature. Journaling is a therapeutic technique that is often used to increase self-awareness and aid in emotional processing within mental health spaces. This book combines the therapeutic value with spiritual value. It is not simply a book with random scriptures and accompanying journal prompts, it is organized in a way that provides Godly wisdom for different aspects of a teen's experience - from growing in the Lord, to dealing with grief and loss, to dealing with disappointments, to learning how to honor and value oneself. Rev. Dr. Deb thoughtfully structured the prompts in a way that allows the reader to meditate on scriptures each week of the year, while being able to pour out their personal thoughts and prayers as they are led or as the Lord illuminates their understanding. My favorite part of the journal is that it encourages parents and/or trusted adults to go on this journey with the teen by being able to write encouragement to the teen for each journal prompt. This not only encourages spiritual, emotional, and social growth and development but it also strengthens the teen's awareness of their support system - a balance that is sorely needed in the adolescent stage of development. I highly recommend this book.”

“Focusing on Having Life More Abundantly, this issue of Bible Journaling for Grown Folks eloquently epitomizes the broadness and depth of Dr. Scarborough's theological education. As one personally committed to journaling daily to record meaningful memories, I was inspired to see that this book shares contextual references designed to provide deeper insight spiritually and therapeutically into scripture. She offers excellent choices of weekly topics and comparable scriptures to prompt inner thought to facilitate easy journaling, as well as enhance one's personal meditation without having to search for a relevant scripture in the Bible. Over the course of a year, a diligent journalist will indeed experience life more abundantly while reflecting on the featured topics, including health, wealth, forgiveness, love, wisdom, restoration, joy, peace, gratitude, service, worship, and favor. Used faithfully, this book will change your life and bring you a sense of hope, peace, and purpose as you strive to have life more abundantly and strengthen your relationship with God.”
