“Why would I want to color? Coloring is for kids!” exclaimed
my 84-year old mother when I asked her if she had heard about the latest trend
in adult relaxation. I must admit that a year or so ago, that would have
probably been my response. At least out loud, that is. Inside, though? Well, I
never lost the joy of coloring. I was an elementary school librarian for 19
years, and every week, at some point, I was coloring with children. I never
thought about the fact that other adults enjoyed it, too. But, look at the
craze today! Ann-Margret Hovsepian has jumped right into that adult coloring
book phenomenon with her newest book, Restore
My Soul: A Coloring Book Devotional Journey. Hovsepian is both author and
illustrator of the double whammy of thought provoking devotionals paired with
original artwork begging to have the lines filled in.
Each unique ready-to-color page is frame-worthy, and the
sturdy paper for each page helps to make that a possibility. There’s even a “Create
Your Own Coloring Page” section for the budding artist. Restore My Soul is the perfect book to get you started on your
journey of adult coloring. You might discover a newfound hobby, and you will
definitely read about and ponder God’s message to you with each devotional.
