Since 2015, Cultivate What Matters has helped thousands of women across the world open their Bibles and make time in the Word their favorite part of the day. Write the Word® Bible journals have only grown more beloved in this community year after year, and in 2022, we celebrated the launch of our 25th and 26th volumes (!).
It's been our joy to tinker with the look and feel of the journals over these last few years with the goal of always making them better for you (one of our company mottos!). We've tweaked the floral artwork on the cover, launched a kids version, added journaling prompts and art pages, offered a choose-your-own scripture version, experimented with paperback construction, walked through an entire book of the Bible, partnered with Proverbs31, and offered shorter versions for Advent and Lent.
Through it all, we've kept what's most important the same: the Word of God, front and center; the practice of writing out scripture in your own hand; the opportunity to journal what's on your heart; and a stress-free, undated format that makes engaging with these journals a joy.
One other thing that's been consistent? Colorful covers! Many Write the Word lovers have collected the full rainbow of themes, and it's a beauty to behold. You know we love our color around here: the full spectrum reflects the beauty of the world around us, and the joy and optimism of the women who use our products!
We realize, however, that some gals in this community may not love color quite as much as we do—at least when it comes to their homes and personal spaces. As silly as it may sound, we'd never want a bright cover (that might look jarring in an all-neutral bedroom!) to get between a woman of God and the Word of God. If color was a barrier for some of our Cultivators to give Write the Word a chance, we wanted to knock it down.
And so, for our neutral-loving gals, we're thrilled to offer one of our best-selling themes—Write the Word | Fruit of the Spirit—in a gorgeous natural linen cover. With subtle floral artwork and gold-foil details, this Bible journal will look at home on every nightstand, no matter how neutral! :)
Neutral lovers, we hope you love this addition to the Write the Word family! We'd love to hear: what volume would you like us to reprint in a neutral next? (And color lovers, don't worry—our brights aren't going anywhere! We're just adding to the goodness!)
P.S. Already own Write the Word | Fruit of the Spirit in the red colorway? You're all set! The insides are exactly the same.

Hi Leighan! Thank you so much for this kind, thoughtful note and for your many years of using Write the Word journals — wow! We are blessed to have you in this community! Removing some of the gold-foil elements was not an easy decision but you’re right, something we did to help keep the price reasonable as costs have increased. We are always eager to hear feedback from customers, however, and I have shared your note with the team. Thank you again!
Dear Write the Word,
I have been a journaler all my life, and in 2017 my daughter blessed me with my first Write the Word journal – Cultivate Joy. I absolutely love these journals. They keep me focused and growing daily in my walk with the Lord. I have since gone on to order 21 more journals – including Gratitude, Prayer, Forgiveness, Renewal, Confidence, Faith, Fruit of the Spirit, Wisdom, Hope, Women of the Bible, Love, Courage, Worship, Colossians, the Gospels collection, and the Psalms collection.
So….when I opened my recent purchase a few days ago, I was terribly disappointed to see that the gold foil embossed elements inside the journals has been replaced by plain black lettering. I realize this is most likely a cost-reducing decision, but this distinctive element daily gave a sense of excellence to the journals.
If it is ever an option to return to the gold-foil embossing for the interiors, please definitely do. It is not simply a matter of taste or style, but for me elevates my time in the word, specifically with these journals, to worship.
Thank you for listening.
Sincerely,
Leighan Dickerson
