Ahh, another coloring book.  Makes me happy.  This one is unique in that with each coloring page there is also a page for journaling, doodling, or whatever you feel like doing. There is also a Bible verse for each page and the point is that while you are coloring, you are to be meditating and memorizing the verse on the page and then writing down any reflections or thoughts that come to mind. It's really a good idea, a good way to relax, destress, and still keep your thoughts from going aimlessly in directions that accomplish nothing.

The pictures look like a lot of fun to color, a lot of flowers which is down my alley.  It makes me want to go buy some pencil crayons or some other coloring markers, but that's a whole other story.

The one con I see with the book is the binding is too stiff. It doesn't feel like the type of book that is going to lay down well so that you can color in it. I think you will either  have to be very rough and "break it in" good or you will constantly be contending with a book that wants to close. That is a little disappointing. It needs a softer cover so it will lay open better.

However, I look forward to being able to color in it. Of course, being the person I am, I am sure my other coloring book will have to be completed first. I probably should just will this one to Amber right away, but I want to color in it so bad. It looks like way more fun than my current coloring book.

This book was given me by Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Fragrant Whiffs of Joy by Dorcas Smucker (It's Giveaway time)

Ah yes, this was just what the doctor ordered. I've wanted to review Dorcas' last book or two and was always too chicken to ask, but this time I threw caution to the wind and said, "Yes, I want to review your book." And I'm so glad I did. It was the perfect book for this stage in my life. Short, easy to read chapters that can be picked up and read whenever and wherever. They are guaranteed to either make you laugh, smile, cry, or or just give you that ah-ha feeling that someone else experiences life like that too.  I could quote from pretty much every chapter something that struck me in one of those ways, but I really want you to go buy the book so I won't do that many spoilers. I only want to give you a hint of what is to come in the book. First off, isn't the cover beautiful? I can dream of a kitchen table like that with the apple pie still steaming and the tea pot, or coffee pot more likely, full to the brim and a beautiful arrangement of flowers

The Swindler's Daughter by Stephania H. McGee

  Lillian is raised by her "widowed" mother who wants Lillian to marry slightly above her station so as to secure a good future for both Lillian and her mother.  But then the unexpected happens and Lillian is left the inheritance of her father who has only just now died. She travels to Dawsonville where she is confronted with secrets and a whole new life. She is given community, family, friendships and acceptance, something she has never had before.  It was a fun light read, but I can't say I gained any huge inspiration from it. It was pretty fluffy. Of course, there was Jonah battling his own things and struggling to come to terms with the way his own life was turning out. So you know the end of all that, but on the way there there was some danger and some twists and turns in the plot which added to the story.  I received this book from Revell and was not required to write a positive review.  All opinions expressed are my own.
