Color the Psalms 2017 Weekly Planner

Rating: 5 of 5
I am really pleased with this weekly calendar. It has all of the notation space I look for and more. The designs are printed on the left side of the page with the calendar on the right. I plan to color a design each week throughout the year. The translations used in this book are taken from the New King James Version, the Holy Bible New International Version, the Good News Translation in Today’s English, and the Holy Bible New Living Translation.
The Bible Scripture will help set the tone for my meditation time as I really enjoy reading and studying the Psalms. I find that the psalmist has expressed what could be my joy, my sorrow, my questions and my answers as if he were looking into my mind.
The designs are very done. If you, as I do, own the Color the Psalms coloring book by this author, you will see duplication of the designs. That’s generally what I expect in this type of calendar booklet. What I like is that this is a different size and quite different paper.
The cover of the book is nicely done in an off white with fold outs on the front and back cover. The color decoration on the cover is in a very pretty gloss while the rest of the cover is matte. The front and back binding is re-enforced with a good sturdy tape so they should not separate with use throughout the year.
In addition to the weekly calendar and design, there is a full page calendar of 2017, pages for important dates throughout the year, pages for birthdays, two-page spread calendars for each month of the year, pages for important dates 2018, address pages, password pages, pages for to-do lists, and many pages for notes. Each of the weekly pages shows a small full-month calendar in right lower right hand corner.
The paper used in the book is a medium weight off white non-perforated page. The outlines of the calendar is printed in beige and the words are in black. The designs are black lines on the off-white paper. The book is glue bound. Alcohol-based markers, water-based markers, and India ink art pens all bleed through the paper to some degree. Gel pens did not bleed through. Colored pencils worked well with good color, layering and blending by both oil and wax based pencils.
