Recently, my younger sister came to stay with me for a few days.  She brought a few coloring books and some fine tipped markers with her. Anytime there was quiet or we were sitting around watching a movie, she would color. My two boys quickly became interested and joined her.  There is something cathartic about coloring. I have to admit, I often wondered about people who found time to use a coloring book. However, I am finding that there is something to it!

I love this small, purse sized coloring journal. It has a lovely color, and is the perfect size to fit in your purse for a long wait, or a car ride. Each journal entry takes two pages, There is a scripture, prayer, and blank lines included for each entry.  Some entries are fully illustrated, others leave room for coloring.

I think this journal would be perfect for anyone really, but specifically it would make a great Mother’s Day gift. I requested my copy with my sister in mind, but now I find that I would like to keep it for myself! It’s setup is ideal for a quick morning quiet time. Nothing intense, just a straight forward reminders to choose joy, be kind, not to worry, and to rest.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book by its publisher. I was not required to give a positive review and all opinions are my own.
