A beautiful artist-drawn coloring book with Scripture created to encourage, inspire, and delight Christian mothers.
This beautifully rendered adult coloring book will offer Christian moms a perfect way to enjoy moments of peaceful creativity as they color 46 gorgeously intricate pictures and meditate upon God’s word. Filled with lovely botanical scenes, charming designs, and intricate patterns, the images and words of this book will remind mothers of their special place in the hearts of their loved ones and the wonderful purpose God created in them.
My Thoughts:
The idea of adult coloring books is to help people have some downtime, de-stress, and simply relax. It’s something that’s gained in popularity fairly recently. My mom, sisters, and I became really interested by the concept. We found that not only is it a nice way to unwind, it’s also really fun! When I got the chance to review these coloring books, I gladly accepted. I chose A Giving Heart is particular to give to my mom. She loved it! These pages are stunning, with gorgeously detailed designs and inspiring words! It’s a thoughtful and unique gift to give on Mother’s Day or birthdays for all the special women in your life. I definitely recommend!

My Thoughts:
This coloring book really is for anyone, doing exactly as the title claims with inspiring and joyful quotes and scripture! I loved reading through all the quotes and the images are so fun and playful. This book is creative, encouraging, and I liked the overall concept.

*Many thanks to Hachette Book Group for sending me these lovely coloring books for review.
I have been enjoying coloring books a lot lately. I still have my Beauty and the Beast, which I love. How awesome for getting a coloring book to review, Bekah! 🙂
Aren’t they fun?! Ooo BatB sounds like it would be amazing. I might have to look into that for my little sister, who saw the movie in theaters about four times. 🙂
Thanks for coming by, Jess! I appreciate you. xoxo
