A Coloring Book...or a Ministry Opportunity?

Apparently, it isn't 2016 unless everyone you know has an adult coloring book. Disclaimer: I'm totally guilty of joining in on the hype. There is nothing more relaxing than spending time unwinding and coloring. So I was excited to see that Christian book publishers are now joining the coloring book phenomenon.

In my mind, coloring books should have 3 things:
1. Beautiful illustrations in an engaging subject.
2. A variety of images to color--a good range of complexity and subjects.
3. Heavy paper so you can use pencil, markers, crayons, etc.

Wonders of Creation did not disappoint. I loved the illustrations in this book; they range from trees, plants, and scenic landscapes to forest creatures, insects, and ocean animals. My favorites were the raccoon, horse, and peacock--there will definitely be something for everyone in this book. My only complaint is that it wasn't larger and that the pages weren't perforated (so you can't easily tear them from the book--but you can always cut them out).

Whether you are a die-hard coloring book fan or curious about the bandwagon, I recommend you add this book to your collection. It's a great reminder to appreciate God's creation (and perhaps spend time in prayer) as you color the pages and a cool ministry opportunity if you share the pages with friends.
