Randy Alcorn, popular author of the book Heaven, has created forty short devotionals all revolving around heaven for this beautiful book. Ranging in topic from the New Jerusalem to the pleasure God takes in giving us good gifts, he expounds on a scripture for each devotional in a concise but meaningful manner.
Then, to add to the experience, each devotional comes with a coloring page accompanying it. The illustrations by Lizzie Preston are stunning and I absolutely love the gold accents each page has.
Not only is it a topic we don't focus on enough on a daily basis, but it's done in such a way that you can find rest in the activities of coloring as much as thinking through the various scriptures used.
I would definitely recommend this to those who enjoy adult coloring books. It would make a wonderful gift (especially with Easter in mind) and will provide not only enjoyment from the lovely images but also insight into heaven in a way that Randy Alcorn is famous for!
My rating: 5*
