Good Morning Girls Resources for the book of John
Happy New Year! I’m so glad you are here! We are about to begin our study through the book of John and EVERYTHING you need to get started is below – so keep on scrolling down. There is a lot of information below but the most important part is where you leave a comment and let us know where you are joining us from and if you have an open GMG group – please leave your link.
If you are new here, Good Morning Girls is an accountability group for reading God’s Word. I am here to serve you and encourage you. I hope you will commit to starting out the New Year, in the Book of John with us! I know you will be blessed.
Below you will find all of the resources you need to get started. Then watch for more weekly resources here on the blog every Monday and Friday starting January 14th!
Here at Good Morning Girls all the resources are free
but there is an optional John Journal for purchase
exclusively on Amazon.
This journal includes:
* An introduction and background to the Book of John
* The Daily Reflection Question
* The Verse of the Day
* The Coloring Chart
* An explanation of the SOAK Method
* Blank pages for journaling daily
Here’s the Printable Bible Bookmark for the Book of John.
Here is the free printable short version of the Book of John Journal for logging your SOAK study. This is for those who are not purchasing the Paperback Journal. This is not the same as the Paperback Journal – this eJournal has been created for low-cost printing on a home printer and does not include the Introduction to John, Verses of the Day or Reflection questions.
Invite your sons and daughters!
Just like us – our children NEED to be in God’s Word daily. Children over the age of ten are capable of reading a chapter a day and SOAKing what they have read. I encourage you to introduce this method of study to your children. Teach them how to drink from the living well of God’s word and soak in all the spiritual nourishment they can!
If you have a son joining you – there is a journal available for them! The interior is identical to the girls journal.
Here at Good Morning Girls we are reading through the Bible – one chapter a day – switching back and forth between the New Testament and the Old Testament.
So far we have completed 21 Books of the Bible:
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, Esther, Job, Psalms 1-50, Proverbs, Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes, Matthew, Mark, Luke, Acts, Romans, & James.! You can find all of the links to past studies on the GMG Resources Page.
To keep track of all of the books you have completed use this printable below. Notice there are no dates on any of our reading plans so anyone can join us anytime.
Here is an explanation of the
Signature GMG SOAK Bible Study method:
Here’s the Printable Bible Coloring Chart Bookmark
Click here to print the Bookmark Coloring Chart
This is a wonderful method that slows us down and helps us soak in every single word.
Here’s what it looks like in my Bible and some of yours.
Still not sure how this all works? Here is a video explaining it further.
Here are the highlighters, pens and pencils I mentioned in the video:
Highlighters – Acid Free – Bible Hi-Glider
Fine Line Non-bleeding Pens – Micron Archival Ink and Multi-Colored Gel Pens
Colored Pencils – Crayola Twistables and Crayola Colored Pencils
I use the ESV Inductive Study Bible and the ESV Journaling Bible as my personal study Bible.

Here’s the GMG Social Media Schedule
On the Blog
Mondays – All of the free Resources for the week including the Daily Reflections Questions and printable Verses of the Day will be posted here.
Fridays – they’ll be a Friday wrap-up video or devotional here on the blog.
Instagram
On Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, I’ll be posting encouragement for your study in the book of John. Follow me on Instagram here.
Facebook
On Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, I’ll post the assigned reading of the day at 7:30am EST and an open discussion takes place there. Come anytime during the day and join us. Check it out! It’s wonderful! Go to Good Morning Girls Facebook Page here.

There are no sign-ups or enrollments.
I encourage you to invite your friends and start your own Good Morning Girls group. You can keep each other accountable using email, text messaging or creating a Facebook group.
Accountability works in reaching our goals – whether it’s losing weight, becoming more organized, or getting into God’s word daily – the encouragement of others keeps us going on days when we’d rather quit!

teresabunch82@yahoo.com
Hi Teresa,
I just you an email.
Hi,
I am joining in from Eupora,Ms
I am so excited about starting this. A few weeks back I had decided that I would read the entire book of John starting the new year and to my surprise I open my Instagram one day and saw that the next study would be John. Is that not confirmation or what… can’t wait to start…
Hi neighbor!! I am from Grenada!! I love the GMG Bible studies, have been studying along for a few years now. Good to see someone so ckose to my area.
Excited to join for the first time!! Chiming in from Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada.
Hello my name is Helen & I’ll be joining you from Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I’m a UK expat living in the middle East.

Jenn Smith from Queen Creek, Arizona… so excited to start this journey with you! ????✝️
Starting with you for the first time with three others. Threee of is are from Michigan and one from Colorado.
I would say we are not a group though because this is our first time and we are not sure how this is going to work… ????
I am from Michigan also. Any chance you would like one more in your group??
Been praying for a bible study.. yes my church offfers them but none go with my schedule
I reached out to a few ladies no replies, then I came across GMG.. just when I was going to give up, He always shows up with His plan
Thank you ladies for letting me share and also grow in my walk with you all. May will all be like Enoch
I, too, have done many studies with GMG. I especially enjoyed the book of Ruth and the new layout and effort put into it. I would love to see the same done with all remaining books. It seemed more in depth. I have received my book of John and look forward to beginning the study with everyone.
Hi Deborah! I am so glad you liked the in-depth study of Ruth! I also have an in-depth study of the book of Ecclesiastes if you have not done it yet – you can find all of resources here: https://womenlivingwell.org/ecclesiastes-depth-bible-study-free-video-series/ .
The in-depth studies take a lot more time for research, writing and editing so there will be more ahead but it will be a while. We are currently beginning the behind the scenes writing of the next one – so it’s in the works!
So glad you are joining us for John! 🙂
Lots of Love,
Courtney

I am really looking forward to this study, I miss being in a bible study group! I have done several studies in the past but none with GMG. I am from just outside of Harrisburg, PA.
I am joining from California, and I just got my journal! I can’t wait to begin!
I am joining you from Orrville/Dalton, OH (just down the road!) and looking forward to spending more time in another book of the Bible.
Taking time to really read and reflect upon – and then act upon – a portion of the Bible is so much more worthwhile, than my just reading to read.
What group are you in?
Hi from Mont Belvieu, Tx. My first Bible study with you. So happy I found your facebook page.
Hi There,
I’m going to join you all for this study. I’m in a suburb of the Seattle area. I am not in a Facebook group. Will someone invite me to join theirs?

Hi Courtney,
I’m looking forward to joining everyone for this bible study. I have followed you for many years, maybe since around 2012! I am joining you for the first time with this bible study. I love the book of John so I am a little bit excited to get started 🙂 I did print out two of your other bible studies near the end of 2018 for this year but once I saw you were starting the book of John I decided to join in with you all.
I would love to join a Facebook group for Australia. Do you know if there is one already created?

Hi! I am Cindy from Lubbock, Texas! I am super excited about this study, my first one. I just recently took my Facebook and Instagram off of my phone because I was wasting too much time on them and wanted to use that time getting into the word and spending time with Jesus.

Hey! I’m Vicki Lewis from Chesterfield, VA. This will be my first study with GMG. We are also going though the book of John in Sunday school, so I was a bit hesitant and looked for another study.
