Picturing Heaven by Randy Alcorn | Re:View

Talk about stunning! This amazing adult coloring book is not only perfect for fans of coloring but also for use as a quick devotional.

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.

Tranquility: A Prayer and Refelction Coloring Journal | Re:View

Soothing, calming, tranquil. All perfect words to describe this lovely prayer and reflection coloring journal! 

*** 

I simply love this coloring and prayer journal. Ever since I got the gratitude one I have loved the whole concept of these books. The reality is...sometimes I want to do my devotions differently. It's not bad to sit and just read through my Bible (obviously, that's a good thing) but the way in which I process what I read is important too. Sometimes, I want to try something different in the mornings and coming to a journal like this is the perfect thing!

If the cover is any indication (which it really is) this journal is stunning in its craftsmanship! From the thick panels of the cover and back plate (which make it super easy to color/write in) and the beautiful interior layout, I find myself fully engaged.

For every two pages, there is a prompt, or prayer, and typically a scripture to go along with that. Then there is a way to engage--whether it's drawing, journaling, or coloring in. What a fun idea, right? The best part is that you can focus your thoughts on what you've read (the prompt/scripture/journal entry) while you're coloring. Yes, coloring may be "easy" or possibly even "mindless" but with this journal, it doesn't have to be.

I highly recommend this journal to anyone who enjoys journaling, coloring, and reflective prompts. You will not only find encouragement in these pages but fun too!

I'm seriously in love with this journal! From the moment I unwrapped it I was smitten with the colors, style, and creative appeal. First off, this beauty is well crafted with solid front and back boards that give stability to your coloring and journaling no matter where you take it.

Moving to the inside you'll find beautifully created pages that take you through devotional concepts with a fresh approach. There's room to draw, prompts for journaling, and, of course, pages for coloring! I love that some of the prompts even suggest drawing visual expressions of the verses.

I highly recommend this amazing journal for those who are looking to do devotions in a new and refreshing way. I also recommend this as a great gift option for friends in your life who like being creative or love coloring. It's not only relaxing, but it will also lead you to dig deeper in your relationship with the Lord.
