This fall, adults of all ages everywhere who feel stressed and unfocused are quieting their minds and souls by putting away the smart phones and tablets and picking up pencils, markers and crayons to color. At home, in waiting rooms, in churches, on road trips - coloring books for adults are becoming more and more popular. These coloring books for adults from Paraclete are not only a simple path to making something beautiful, it has a spiritual element as well. For anyone looking for some relief from the stress of the season, and for a fun and artistic new activity to count the days until Christmas, this Advent Coloring Calendar will provide a daily dose of peace and focus. Create something beautiful by coloring a pattern for each of the the 24 days before Christmas, and then enjoy the Christmas story from the Bible while creating more lovely and seasonal art. "Sometimes coloring is just coloring. To put crayons to paper and create a rainbow of marks and swaths is relaxing, playful, and maybe even artistically satisfying. But sometimes coloring is more. To put colored crayons, markers, or pencils to paper is to create a pathway to the numinous. Coloring invites the body and the senses into an experience of inner stillness. While the hand moves, the mind and the body slow down. The heart and the ears open carving a space for rich silence and an opportunity for God to speak." —Sybil MacBeth, author of Praying in Color: Drawing a New Path to God

Was really hoping for more. Essentially it's just numbers (days) with some design around them and one verse for each day. I was thinking that maybe there would be more than just one verse per day and more about the advent. The numbers representing each day, really take away from the design on each coloring page. It is also a smaller coloring book. I might send mine back.
I love the simplicity of these designs and the brief meditative words. As a busy mom this is perfect for me. I can complete the page each day because it is simple and meditate on the verse or prayer and carry it with be through the day. This would also be great to use as a family...put the book out on the kitchen table with pencils or markers and everyone can color some of the design for the day and count down to Christmas. I think that is what I will do.
Not impressed. Who wants to color a number with doodles around it? I ordered three different ones in the series, and may send all three back. I thought at least the art would have something to do with the scripture for the day. Not.
