[edit] History of Faithbooking

Faithbooking dates back to Egyptian times^{[citation needed]} where families, churches, mosques and synagogues carefully documented scripture verses, religious beliefs and family spiritual history in the form of scrolls to remember and revist frequently the blessings that God has given to them. As time progressed, the art of publishing became more and more sophisticated to where it is today using various forms of art media mixed with photographs related to one's spiritual journey to produce beautiful Faithbooks, diaries and journals. The most famous spiritually historical faithbooks have been the Torah, Bible and Qur'an.^{[citation needed]}
