My Thoughts:
The first thing to really jump out at me with the Gratitude: A Prayer and Praise Coloring
Journal is the hardback cover. It is really durable and appealing to the
eyes. It is easy to see why the journal would be easy to place alongside my
Bible and take to a peaceful setting to spend time with God. Since I believe a journal should have room
for writing my personal thoughts, I looked for a place to include my own
writing. There is plenty of room for that.
On a number of pages there are prompts, such as, Friends are
the Family I have chosen. There is a little blurb for me to ponder with a verse
attached. On the corresponding page, there is another heading: No Greater Love
with space for me to include my own thoughts. The border has black and white
images with plenty of space for me to color if I so desired. Some of the
pictures have a lot of little detail while others really don't, which is great
for someone like me who might want to work on a piece that doesn't take a lot
of time one day, but then spend a little more time on the next day.
I really liked how this book will allow me to take my focus
off me, but remind me to be grateful for simple things like my friends and
family and not worry about all the things that stress me out every day. This
journal doesn't have to be done in a month either; it can allow me to spend a
year or longer working through it. Maybe one page a week or so. Nothing too
hasty.
It isn't like anything I have seen on the market, so it is
definitely different. I believe women of all ages would enjoy this gratitude
journal whether they enjoy coloring or writing. It draws us closer to God and
allows us to seek him more, which is our ultimate purpose in our relationship
with God anyways.
I received a complimentary copy of Gratitude: A Prayer and Praise Coloring Journal from Tyndale
Publishing and the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating:
4.5 out of 5 stars
