Instructions & IntroductionThis project was created by me based on a rather well-received project in my teen daughters’ Sunday School classroom. The teacher gave each girl a notebook with the attributes and characteristics of God written at the top of each page. As the girls did their regular devotions or took notes in church, they were supposed to make note of the different Bible verses that highlighted these attributes, adding additional pages as needed of course.

My own girls dutifully worked on these notebooks for years, to the point of their three ring binders falling apart from overuse, and during that time I have seen much growth, encouragement, and wisdom gained through this small but powerful project.

After verifying that there was no copyright on this particular idea, I decided to re-create these page layouts to look nice, and to add some other characteristics my girls added to theirs too.

It is my prayer that you not only enjoy these notebook pages, but that you also grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord through them.

Because there are many pages involved here, if you want to save printer ink, just print off the cover page and the Table of Contents, and make your own notebooks by just writing the topics on the top of each page. That works too. These pages were designed to look a little bit “fancier” to my own daughters’ specifications. J
