This is a lovely book of 37 verses from the Psalms. Among them are some of the words that have meant so much to me over the years. When I have found myself deep in what seems like overwhelming grief, I turn to the Psalms to both express what I am feeling and then to find comfort in the promises. The verses are taken from a variety of Bible translations including: New King James, New International Version, Good News Translation in Today’s English, and the New Living Translation.

The designs by artist Michal Sparks are very pretty and should be fun to color but they are meant to highlight the words. These are not designs that are cute but rather more elegant. I believe that as I color each design, I will be able to spend time contemplating what is being said at the same time. It will not only be a relaxing time but one of spiritual refreshing and being upheld. These will be the perfect thing to color when the day has been difficult and I need the extra time to meditate on what is good and true.

The designs in the book are printed on one side of the page with the back side left blank. The paper is white and is a medium weight. While the pages are not perforated, there is plenty of room between the design and the binding for cutting the pages out if you so choose. The binding is glued rather than sewn.
