Even as a "mature" adult, I love to color. I love the escape from stress it allows as I concentrate on staying within the lines. This adult coloring book is particularly special because each set of pages has a beautiful page to color, many containing birds, while the opposing page contains a word of hope and encouragement either in the form of a simple statement you might imagine Jesus saying to you or words taken directly from scripture, both Old and New Testament.
The pages are a nice card stock weight so markers would be less likely to bleed through if they are your preferred medium. I love colored pencils and have had no difficulty using them on this weight paper. I like the fact that, for the most part, all the drawings are not so tiny and intricate that it takes hours and hours to complete.
Also included in the back of this volume is a practice page for hand lettering. Based on the subtitle of the book, I would have expected a bit more variety in hand lettering styles but this alphabet is lovely and I am hoping the author doesn't mind me copying the page because I will certainly need more than one page for practicing. I will, however, be looking for other options for letter styles for variety sake.
I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and was in no way obligated to write a positive one.
