Holistic Pursuit of Holiness

A Review of "Whatever is Lovely: A Coloring Book for Reflection and Worship"

This coloring book offers a chance to slow down in the midst of life. The artwork is beautifully done by a number of different artists, providing for a variety in expression as one colors. The addition of Scriptures, inspirational sayings from a number of wonderful Christian individuals, and lyrics from popular hymns with accompanying hymn stories provides the person engaging with the artwork moments of meditation. Finally, the play list provided through Spotify offers a varied presentation of music that also lifts up the person engaging the artwork. The combining of these elements is wonderful, providing the individual the opportunity to reflect in a myriad of ways upon the grace, love, and peace of God. 
This coloring book uniquely provides a method for devotional reflection. Often devotionals capitalize on the cognitive learner with texts. "Whatever is Lovely" focuses on the active and visual learners without losing the opportunity to engage the mind. This is a holistic approach to spiritual reflection that potentially leads the individual toward holiness.
