Frequently Asked Questions
A BookItLookIt is a book you create using file folders, colorful cardstock, and ready-to-print designs with Bible verses.
Scripture Pictures are 8.5” x 11” colorful posters that match the BookItLookIt designs. Print extras to use with resources—cut line by line or word by word—for quick, accurate preparation of games and activities with unlimited possibilities!
You Book It (make the book), then you Look It (look at it) to learn your Bible verses!
BookItLookIts can supplement your current Bible memory program or include games and practice drills for a complete program. No Bible program? No problem! Anyone can use a BookItLookIt to learn Scripture in a hands-on, fun, colorful, and exciting way.

Products were originally designed to complement Bible Drill programs in Southern Baptist churches, which rotate on a three-year cycle of memory verses and passages:
Red – Cycle 1
Blue – Cycle 2
Green – Cycle 3
They are divided into three age groups for drill competition:
Children: 4th–6th grade
Youth: 7th–9th grade
High School: 10th–12th grade
These materials have also been used successfully with younger children and adults. Anyone who desires a fun, creative, colorful, and unique way to practice Scripture memorization will benefit!
Churches, homeschoolers, families, Christian schools and organizations can easily use these undated materials (and pillowcases!) to promote Scripture memory.

Host a group work session to assemble materials together
We have received copyright permission from Crossway for the ESV Bible version since 2018. When we requested it for the pillowcases, we were told they “are very selective with granting permission for the ESV regarding merchandising. While we cannot provide you with our exact guidelines, we typically do not approve most home goods and apparel items. We apologize for the inconvenience.”
We are just as disappointed as you are, and hope that in the future Crossway will reconsider our request. We highly value our ESV customers, but we also operate Designer Bible Drill with integrity, and will not produce a product without proper copyright or related permissions.
BookItLookIts help students memorize:
Children: 25 Bible verses and the location of 10 key passages (Over 3 cycles that’s 75 verses & 30 passages)

Although the age levels correspond to the Bible Drill program in some Southern Baptist churches, ANYONE can use the materials for any age level that suits their purposes for Bible memory. Designer Bible Drill is the result of using the method that I designed for my own church Bible Drill programs and making it available to other churches and families. God is the ultimate Designer who gave me these ideas and when you implement them, you will truly have a “designer” Bible Drill program.
It sounds like you want to see kids impacted by Scripture, but can’t think of anyone to gift a Scripture pillowcase to. Designer Bible Drill will graciously accept monetary gifts to provide much needed funds to work on future Bible Drill cycle pillowcases, and marketing to spread the word about these great resources that encourage others to memorize God’s Word. Any gift, no matter how small, can be easily donated (here).
Verses have been proofed multiple times with each Bible version. Occasionally, a verse begins with a quotation and the quote continues through additional verses not to be memorized. Some states remove these from the verse on their official cards and some add an end quotation where one is not listed in the Bible, but it would be assumed. In some cases, the beginning of the verse is not capitalized or it may end with a comma rather than a period because it continues into another verse. All Designer Bible Drill products capitalize the first word of the verse, end with a period rather than a comma, and add the assumed quotation, etc. to make each look more grammatically correct.
Start from the back/right side:
Fold in the last flap
Fold the entire second section in over the first section
Fold the front left flap over and attach with Velcro (optional)
The finished size is approximately 9” x 11.5”.
We have already started working on the Red Cycle, and anticipate both Red and Blue being available in 2026. Currently, we are focused on launching the Green Cycle product. Have you shared it with your contacts yet?
Yes! We realize we are jumping into the middle of the Green Cycle Bible Drill season. What about a quick fundraiser? Or you could show pictures of the pillowcases to some key people in your church that recognize the impact of Scripture memory and would love to support your drillers, or ask Bible study groups to sponsor a child’s pillowcase. They could also draw names and adopt their own personal driller, perhaps even buying a pillow locally and presenting both to the driller when the order arrives.
Encourage families to exchange just one meal at a restaurant for a meal at home, to cover the pillowcase cost, and easily concluding which one lasts longer.
Valentine’s Day will be here soon. What about instead of the old singing Valentine idea, have children or youth quote some Scripture for some adult classes to contribute some extra funds.
There are multiple fundraisers through schools, sports and churches, but people will be more than happy to contribute to Scripture pillowcases that can truly make an impact on kids’ lives. We would love to hear your ideas too!
Sure! We wish we could have everything in stock and ready to ship; however, this is a new custom physical product that we are just launching, and the sublimation printing process takes time, not to mention we have no idea how sales will go, which Bible versions will be most popular, etc.
The Pre-Orders will allow us to make sure we are getting the versions and age level that you need. Although we are limited by the manufacturer’s production time of approximately 3 weeks, it is entirely possible that when you place your order, we might already have that item ready to ship, or it might be already on its way to us.
We will strive to keep the status of products updated on the Products page. Pre-Orders will get first priority in shipping. So, despite the potential wait time, we encourage you to go ahead and pre-order to guarantee that you will get the next available shipment.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding! If you have specific questions, please email Designer4Him@DesignerBibleDrill.com
We are offering free shipping with USPS on all U.S. orders, but for those nearby that want to arrange a local pickup, that would eliminate extra shipping delays.
Note that if you order BookItLookIt digital downloads, you will have immediate access to them, as they will not be delayed by your pillowcase order.
Definitely, we use lots of color and the sublimation printing process to make these exciting and enjoyable. They are 100% brushed microfiber polyester, and are soft and comfortable.
They fit a standard-size pillow, and measure approximately 29″ x 20.5″. Washing and care instructions come with your order.
1. Turn the pillowcase inside out before washing by hand or machine.
2. Wash in cold water only, separately from white or color-sensitive items.
3. Use a small amount of mild soap or detergent.
4. Use gentle cycle or handwash. Remove promptly from washer.
5. Hang to dry or lay flat, away from direct sunlight.
6. If machine dried, use Air Only or Low Heat cycle. Remove promptly.
7. DO NOT dry clean, iron, use hot water, bleach, fabric softener, or dryer sheet.
8. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. But don’t be afraid to use it!
With the above care, you will protect your investment and enjoy its’ vibrant appearance for years to come. But the greater, long-term, value is a well-used and treasured pillowcase where a child learns and is comforted by God’s Word!
