Review of "Whatever is Lovely" Adult Coloring Book

This is an absolutely beautiful coloring book for adults. Both covers are well-done and are reflective of the images that colorists can choose from.  It really drives home coloring, creativity, and art as a spiritual practice. I would color in this book while listening to hymns or contemplating God, life, and all creation. It can easily become part of a meditative practice, spiritual discipline, such as daily devotion, or as a simple treat that serves as a reminder of the beauty of all creation.

 The book is also very practical. The creators were cognizant of the pages are easy to tear out,  a picture to color on one side and the full verse or quote on the other. The designs are large, easy to color, and beautiful, with the quote as the centerpiece to each picture, yet wonderfully woven into the overall image.
Overall, I would give this coloring book a 5 out of 5.

Every Little Thing Coloring Book by Payton Cosell Turner

This is a beautiful  coloring book. It is full of whimsy and fun. I do wish that the pictures where a little larger and not nearly as much white space. I also had hoped that the pages would be perforated for me to easily tear out and only one-sided, so has to not have to sacrifice any other picture. The paper is a nice weight though, and the cover is quite sturdy.  I really look forward to spending hours coloring and relaxing.
