"In fifty-plus concise, focused, appealing, and penetrating meditations on scriptural passages, this book offers in-sights and challenges applied to 21st-century American life. The voice is original, unyielding and gentle, guiding, asking the readers to turn from busy-ness to consider, confront, and appreciate God in ourselves, in others, and beyond us and to be able to bring the divine to our scattered, tormented, and troubled planet. This book is surely a true gift of the spirit." -- Dr. Laura Dabundo, Inspirational-Religious Judge for the Georgia Author of the Year Awards

This is a beautiful prayer and praise coloring journal. The embossed design with the font and colors on the cover make it very visually appealing. The pages inside are also colorfully laid out with some page spreads fully colored, some partially colored, and some completely black & white. Each page spread has a space to either journal or illustrate and most have a prayer printed on them with a scripture reference. It's a very pretty book.

It's a little different then I expected. It's on the small side (6 by 8) and it has a thick hardback cover. Despite the binding, the book opens fairly flat to allow for the journaling and coloring. At first I was a little put off by the fact that you couldn't really color on some of the pages. But I love colorful and pretty books and these pages are definitely appealing so I got over that quickly. :) The pages are pretty thick and will hold up well to most of your bleed free markers and pens.

All in all, I think it's a beautiful, well made coloring journal with encouraging and uplifting pictures and prayers.
