I have been looking for a coloring book which highlights the words of Jesus. I was very happy to find this book after a long search. While I appreciate all of my Christian coloring books, rather like seeking a red letter Bible, it is wonderful to pick up a coloring book and know that I am reading words from Christ himself. The artist, Marie Michael, is actually a group of three artists: Nicole Wallace, Chris Dugan and Terry Dugan. I own another coloring book by this group and have enjoyed it tremendously (“Color the Names of God”.)
The words are front and center on the designs while the designs support them. Coloring in the book adds to both my prayer and worship time as I focus on the verse that I am currently coloring. Some designs are obviously inspired by the verse while others are lovely but serve more as a frame. The designs are detailed and a few have intricate and small areas to color. The designs are elegant and flowing rather than cute or filled with “doodle” elements.
The translations used in this coloring book are: Holy Bible New International Version (NIV), New King James Version, and New American Standard Bible.
This is what I found when coloring in this book and testing the paper with my various coloring medium:
37 Designs with Scripture Verses of the words of Jesus
Printed on one side of the page
Paper is medium weight, white, lightly rough and perforated
Glue Binding
Designs do not cross over the perforations, so you can remove them without loss of content.
Most designs have a framing line at the outer edges.
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. I get good pigment lay down, layer, and blend easily with a pencil style blending stick with both oil and wax based pencils. Hard lead pencils can leave dents on the back of the page.
I use and recommend the use of a blotter page to keep ink and dents from marring the pages below. I use a piece of card stock or several sheets of heavy weight paper.
