The Psalms 45 beautiful and inspiration designs

Beside Still Waters: Coloring the Psalms

By: Majestic Expressions

Rating: 5 of 5

This is a book of 45 beautiful and inspirational hand-drawn illustrations. Most of the designs have intricate elements to them. The artist is Ember Canada, who was on active duty with the United States Army prior to being medically retired in 2014. Her drawings show her deep passion for the glory of God’s creation.

Just looking through the designs is uplifting, so I know that coloring them will really take me to a place of spiritual relaxation and an appreciation for the promises of the Psalms. The verses used in this book are taken from The Passion Translation of the Bible. I’m not familiar with that translation but the words are beautifully expressed and the drawings give a visual enhancement to the words.

There are 45 designs and, for fun, there are a number of hidden symbols within the drawings. While there is a listing of the items, to find the answers as to where they are, you will either find them in the drawings or visit the publishers website.

The designs are printed on white paper that is a nice quality but thin. The designs are printed on only one side (with the back left blank.) The paper is acid-free and is not perforated but the publisher states that the pages are easy tear-outs. I assume that is from the glue binding but have not removed one as yet.

All of my markers and some of my gel pens leak through the page. Not a problem, as I can put a heavyweight paper behind the page I am working on to keep the ink from messing up the rest of the book.

I am really happy to see inspiration Biblical adult coloring books being made. I plan to spend many hours with this book and hope to see more in the future.
