37 Cute Cartoon style Angel Designs printed on one side of page

Color Heaven’s Angels: An Adult Coloring Book for Your Soul (Color the Bible)

Rating: 5 of 5

I have a number of the Color the Bible coloring books. This is the first one I have by artist Donna Moses, though I am familiar with some of her older cross stitch designs. Her style is very cute with cartoon-style angels and people. While the designs are cute, the message behind them is beautiful. The book follows a narrative of the Bible and each design is a presentation of a verse that mentions angels. The verse and the cite are part of the design as well. The translation(s) used are not cited in the book, so I can’t be sure of which one(s) were used.

The first design gives glory for Creation and the last design is of Apostle John on the Isle of Patmos. There are pictures of Michael and Gabriel as well as Daniel in the Lions Den. I choose the empty tomb as my first project. Coloring this picture gave me a joyous feeling as I thought about the words of the Angel at the tomb.

This is what I found when coloring in this book and testing the paper with my various coloring medium. In the comments section below, I will provide a list of the coloring medium that I use for testing and for most of my coloring projects.

37 Angel Designs in Cartoon-type style by Donna Moses

Printed on one side of the page

Paper is medium weight, white, smooth and perforated

Glue Binding

Designs all have a framing line around the outside for a more finished look.

Book opens fairly flat for coloring if you crease or break the spine.

Alcohol and water-based markers bleed through the paper to some degree (water-based is mostly in spots while alcohol flows through rapidly.)

Gel pens and India ink do not bleed through but can leave shadows on the back of the page.

Colored pencils work well with the paper. Both oil and wax based pencils provide good color, layer, and blend well using a pencil style blending stick. Hard lead pencils can leave dents on the back of the page.

I use a piece of card stock or several sheets of heavy weight paper as a blotter sheet below my working page to keep ink or dents from ruining the pages below.
