Inspiring Words: 30 Verses from the Bible You Can Color

2015. The year a new craze came out. Everyone instantly jumped on board and started doing the same thing. Comic books. Cartoons. Profanity. And publishers of Bibles. What on earth do all of these have in common? Adult coloring books. Yep. You read that right. Adults need more entertainment, more chances to relax. So we have released coloring books for adults. You can color in anything you want. They’re all about the same size as a normal coloring book. They’re often more detailed, complex drawings than the average children’s coloring book. And the content matter is that which appeals to adults. 

As mentioned above, the Christian Publishing Companies have jumped on board with this idea too. So we have Inspiring Words: 30 Verses from the Bible You Can Color. It’s beautiful… or at least it will be once it’s colored :-D  And while I question whether or not adults need to focus on more pursuit of entertainment and pleasure, I’m glad Zondervan is publishing this.

 If adults are going to focus their time on coloring, then let’s take advantage of that and use it as another way to get God’s Word into their lives. You’re not coloring nice ideas, or quotes from the latest bestseller. You’re literally coloring Scripture. The translation is the newest NIV – 2010/11 translation.

I would recommend this item as a gift. If you know someone who is into the adult coloring books, they won’t be able to resist this. Whether they want to read the Bible or not, it is clearly black and white shapes begging to be colored in. So go for it! Pick up a few of these and give them out to those friends who are snatching up the latest coloring books off the bookstore shelves! 

Joshua 1:8 – Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
