Whatever is Lovely: A Coloring Book for Reflection and Worship

Whatever is Lovely is the most lovely coloring book I have ever seen.  I have wanted an adult coloring book since I first noticed the trend and starting spotting them in book and craft stores.  I've looked at many of them, but had not yet purchased one for myself.  So, when I had the opportunity to review this one from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review, I jumped at the chance. 

Many of the coloring books I looked at were nice, but I did want a Christian themed book, so that narrowed the field quite a bit.  Still even among the ones with a Christian theme, not all the pages contained Scripture or were Biblical.  Whatever is Lovely fits the bill of every thing I wished for and so much more!  It goes way beyond just coloring an illustrated Bible verse or a picture of a Bible store. It is really intended to be, as the subtitle reads, for reflection and worship.  I love that!

The introduction, titled Color Your Way to Peace, instructs the (reader? user? colorer?)...worshiper that this book was designed to be a way of "quieting our minds, spending time meditating on the words of the Lord, and entering into a time of quiet reflection  and worship.".  How cool is that?  Way, way better than what my first intention was when I first saw adult coloring books: something to do to relax or to keep my hands busy while watching TV. 

Each page of this gorgeous coloring book contains beautiful hand-drawn and lettered pictures to color with Scripture verses, quotes from Christian authors. teachers and pastors, or hymn writers. There is even a link included for a Whatever is Lovely Spotify playlist to further enhance your worship.I really can't say enough of how great I think this coloring book is.  Check it out, I'm sure you too will love it.
