Bible Journaling

Adult Coloring Books are not only helpful for reducing stress but they are also a wonderful meditative tool for your prayer life.

Coloring in scripture or a kind saying not only feeds your creative spirit but can help to put a balm on your soul.

Life Beautiful by Amarie Stocker

Take a look at this gorgeous scripture-inspired journaling & coloring book. It is the first creation by Amarie Stocker and was published by Scripture Lullabies. It also includes a 13 song download of praise music to play while you color, meditate or journal. It has a lay-flat binding with one-sided pictures to color and bullet journaling areas to respond to the verses and devotionals by the author. You can see a few pages of the interior on my Instagram post here, and watch my Insta-stories for a feature as well.

I was blown away by two gorgeous new inspiration books. One is a fabulous coloring journal with verses, inspirational quotes, spaces for you to journal and reflect along with meditative pictures to color throughout. The cover really sets it apart from other coloring journals. And the other is a Christmas devotional coloring book for the family that earned its spot on my top 25 Christmas books, it is called “All is Bright“.

Gratitude: A Prayer and Praiser Coloring Journal

I just received this GORGEOUS Prayer and Coloring Journal from Tyndale and was blown away!

Whatever is Lovely Coloring Book

We recently received this absolutely gorgeous bible verse coloring book and had to share it with our readers. Many requests come in for one-sided coloring books where people can use markers, well this one is it. SUPER thick one-sided illustrations featuring beautiful artwork from several artists along with hand-lettered bible verses. We have been blown away by the quality of this coloring book. The publishers didn’t stop with just coloring, they have also created a playlist of worship music to go along with your coloring. This is my video flip through showing the pages of “Whatever is Lovely“ and then below the promo video talking about various other aspects of the book.

We live in such a busy, hectic world—but what waits for you inside this adult coloring book is a way to quiet the noise, express creativity, and spend some sweet time with God. Each page features an original design from one of a dozen different artists, beautifully illustrating a contemplative quote from an inspirational writer, a beloved hymn, or Scripture.

When we create, we echo the heart of our Creative God who designed everything and gave us the capacity to recognize beauty.

To help set the perfect mood for worship, contemplation, and creative expression, a link to the “Whatever Is Lovely” playlist is included.  Please use this hashtag on your colorings you share from this book #WhateverIsLovely and of course, add #ColoringBookAddict so we can share your work as well.

Soul Coats Coloring Book

Soul Coats depicts bible stories throughout the old and new testament with a full key in the back with the full verse for each page. The paper is thick and the book is professionally published. I enjoyed using colored pencils, markers and gel pens on the pages I have colored so far. I don’t recommend watercolors as the paper buckles quite a bit.
