The Psalms in lovely script surrounded by butterflies and flowers printed on one side of white non-perforated paper

This is a coloring book with various excerpts from the Psalms intertwined with lovely graphics that include butterflies and flowers. I am not sure which translations are used as the book does not explicitly state this information. The scriptures are printed in black with cites noted, too. The words are what you focus on when you are coloring, so the time spent coloring gives you time to meditate on the Word you have chosen that day. Some of the designs have intricate and small areas which may require small points on your coloring medium. I used Uni-ball Signo 0.38 gel pens and Prismacolor Verithins at a sharp point to color these areas.

The designs are printed on one side of the bright white paper. The book is glue bound, so cutting pictures out will be the way to go if you wish to remove them from the book. All of the designs stop well before the binding, so you should not have any loss of design if you do cut them out. That being said, almost all of the designs stop in the middle of coloring elements leaving them looking unfinished and making it difficult to color. I wish the publisher would put a thin framing line around the outer edge of the image as that would take care of this issue fairly easily.

All of my markers and gel pens bled through to the back of the page. My coloring pencils went on the paper well. I will put a page of chipboard or heavy weight paper below the page I am working on in order to protect the rest of the book from leaking ink.

These are the coloring medium that I use for testing. If there is something else you feel I should be testing, please let me know and I will see if I can add it to my growing pile:

Markers: 1) alcohol-based Copic Sketch, Prismacolor double ended markers (brush and fine point), Sharpies (fine and ultra-fine) and 2) water-based Tombows dual end markers (brush and fine point), Stabilo 88, Staedler triplus fineliners, and Pentel markers

Gel Pens: Sakura, Fiskars, Uni-ball Signo 0.38/0.28 and Tekwriter

Coloring Pencils: Prismacolor Premier Soft Core, Derwent Colorsoft, Prismacolor Verithins, and Faber-Castel Polychromos

I was provided a free sample of this coloring book for test and review purposes.
