my review...
The simple truth is that I live in a family of doodlers, sketchers and colourers. My kids bring home their assignments from school with all sorts of random artwork displayed across the pages. My wife makes grocery lists with fancy flowers and budding vines. And any handout I get from work is immediately adorned with my preschool skill-level drawings. So, when "Live Loved" hit the market, it was only natural that a copy find its way into my home.
My wife reports that this adult colouring book is, indeed, a gem. She has greatly enjoyed sitting down to colour, whether on her own or with my kids while they focus on their own colouring books. The artwork in "Live Loved" is beautiful and simply waiting for a splash of colour to be added to bring the images to life. The accompanying verses are simple but profound, and designed so that as you are adding blues and greens and reds to the words that the truth of God's love is finding its way into your soul. The only thing my wife would like to see different is that the pages come with perforated edges so that if wanted you could easily remove a particular drawing to display it in the house. However, as this book can also act as a journal to capture your thoughts, perhaps the intent was to keep the pictures in the book next to the journal entries.
In an age where the busyness of life can seem overwhelming, I can see why adult colouring books are becoming popular, enabling people to slow down, create beauty, and reflect on their lives. If you are looking for a book that will help you do just that, then plan on adding "Live Loved" and Margaret Feinberg's other books to your collection! 4.5 out of 5 stars.
