This is a lovely Scriptural based coloring book from Christian Art Publishers. There are 55 pages of full designs as well as 7 pages of bookmarks, cards, and gift tags. All of the full designs in the book (as well as most of the extras) include a verse from The Psalms. The translations used are a variety: The Holy Bible NIV, the Holy Bible New Living Translation, the New King James Version and The Holy Bible English Standard Version.

The Scripture is beautifully integrated into the lovely designs so that, while the words speak to the heart, the colorist can enjoy the beautiful illustrations as well. I like the there is such a large variety of designs but with the grounding of a single book of the Bible. The Psalms are the book I turn to when I am most troubled. The problems the Psalmist struggled with and the words he speaks to God usually find an echo in the things that I am struggling with as well.

Here is a brief overview of what I found in this coloring book:

62 Pages of Designs based on The Psalms
Designs printed on one side of smooth, white, heavyweight perforated paper
Glue Binding
Most designs merge past perforations into the binding area
Alcohol-based makers bleed through the page
Water-based markers, India ink pens, and gel pens do not bleed through the page though gel pens require a longer than usual drying period
Coloring pencils were mixed. I had good results with waxed-based soft lead pencils and hard lead pencils in general. Oil-based soft lead pencils laid down good color but did not blend well. Hard lead pencils did not dent the back of the page.

I'm so pleased with the beautiful Scripture-based coloring books that I have found recently and am thankful to have found this one as well.
