37 Designs with the Promises of God to Build your Spirit printed on one side of the page

I have really enjoyed this series of coloring books by various designers. This new book is by artist Lori Siebert. The designs are mostly of flowers and nature scenes and in each design, Ms. Siebert has incorporated one of God’s promises (along with the Bible cite.) When I am discouraged or feel down for whatever reason, I have found that looking to the promises that God has made for me can lift my spirit up and help me to deal with whatever crisis has occurred. There have been times in my life when I felt that I was overwhelmed and that there was no way out of the darkness. On my own, that would be true but each time I have been able to find a promise that I could hold cling to even if it was simply that God will give me rest.

This will be a coloring book that I will turn to when I am feeling like the world is simply too much. That happens a lot these days which so much going on around us. The book has 37 different promises which absolutely will not be broken. I will pick the one that speaks to me in that day and reflect on it as I color. The translations used in this coloring book are: New American Standard Bible, New King James Version, Holy Bible New International Version (NIV), Holy Bible New Living Translation and the Living Bible.

The designs in the book are printed on one side of non-perforated medium weight white paper. The binding is glued rather than sewn, so you will have to cut out pages if you wish to remove them from the book. The designs stop before the binding so if you wish to remove them, you won’t lose parts of the design when you carefully cut them out. I was able to get the book to lay flat by breaking the spine.

All markers I tested bled through this paper. All other mediums, including coloring pencils, left a shadow on the back of the page and a bit of a dent, too. The gel pens did not require extra drying time. The soft lead coloring pencils went on thick and creamy and were extremely easy to blend. I am using a piece of card stock as a blotter page under each page I work on to prevent any damage to the rest of the book. This is something that I routinely do with almost every coloring book I own. In the comments section below, I will list the coloring medium I used in testing this book.
