Ruth: Discovering Your Place in God's Story (Drawn In Bible Study)

I am drawn to art.  Artistic expression abounds in my family and even though I do not paint or draw, like other talented ones in my family, I appreciate those that can and do so much and find joy in their creations.  The only 'art' I can do with any sort of skill is coloring which is why adult coloring books are a favorite past time of mine.

I have reviewed another faith-based coloring book in the past and enjoyed doing the study with my son.  My latest Bible study/coloring book is Ruth: Discovering Your Place in God's Story by Eugene H. Peterson and it's one I chose to do solo.

This beautiful Bible study is centered around Ruth, an amazing woman who is an ancestor to Jesus Christ.  The study is broken down into four 'sessions' which parallel the four chapters in the book of Ruth in the Bible.  Each session starts with questions that are personal to you and then questions that are relevant to the Bible chapter itself.  Even though many of the questions are simple in nature, they are also very thought provoking, which is perfect to ponder when you're coloring.

All the Scripture that is quoted is from The Message which is a Bible version which is very easy for anyone to understand and interpret.

As far as the coloring itself, I tried out several color mediums to find the best fit for this particular paper as well as my own personal coloring technique.  My Copics bled too much for my liking and my Crayola colored pencils were too light.  I finally settled on Crayola SuperTips markers.  There is a lot of variety as far as color choices and there was no bleeding onto the next page unless I colored over one spot too many times.

This was not only a wonderful Bible study but also a beautifully designed coloring book.  I highly recommend for anyone and everyone!
