​This stunning coloring book is composed of 46 inspiring parables designed to help Christians know how God expects them to live their lives. The coloring pages themselves correlate to the story on the page ahead of it, allowing for a coloring page per story. Take a moment to learn from these parables and color these stunning images.
I thought that this was an interesting idea for a coloring book. There are many different devotionals out there, but this is the first coloring book devotional I have ever seen. Sometimes these lessons are hard to keep with us during our busy days, running to and fro trying to get things done, being able to color an image relating to the devotional that you just read can make it easier to remember what you have just read.
The images themselves remind me of illustrations from the medieval period. I found this to be very interesting because it fits with the stories, but is not a common style in today's day and age.
I am on the fence about this coloring book. I want to say that I liked it, and I did in a lot of ways, but I did not enjoy coloring the images, as much as I have with other coloring books. I believe this is because of the way that the pages are set up, in the medieval style that throws me. Although, I was happy to see that this coloring book works well with a variety of mediums, crayons, colored pencils, markers, etc. I used a wide variety when coloring my first of many pictures. I eventually decided that I preferred to use colored pencils, but this is my usual medium when coloring.  
I would recommend this novel to anyone looking for something new in the devotional world, who also enjoys coloring.
I received my copy of this coloring book from the publishers, Faith Words a division of Hachette Book Group, Inc. for the sole purpose of providing an honest review and have permission to use the image of the cover artwork featured above.
