Coloring the Word: 25 Days of Advent Joy

By Marydean Draws

In a season that can so easily crown Jesus out, I'm hoping these coloring pages can help you dwell on the "inexpressible gift" of God and help your heart "prepare Him room." Each page is thoughtfully drawn and leads you to think and pray about the given verse. ABOUT this coloring book: *includes 25 pages of winsome and meaningful black and white Scripture illustrations that lead you to celebrate the coming of Jesus, plus an extra "Greatest Gift" box template*all Scriptures are in the ESV version (you can learn about this translation here: https://www.esv.org/translation/) *completely hand-drawn and hand-lettered*all pages sized 8.5 x 11" *printed only on one side of the page to prevent bleed-through and to make it simple to tear out pages to frame, color, or share. *Appropriate for colored pencils, crayons, and markers.

Here are a few ideas of how you could use these pages: *Choose one verse a day or one verse a week to meditate on--do what works for you! *Talk about the day's verse over dinner as a family. *Look up the verse in the Bible and read the whole passage. Ask God to speak to you. *Have your kids color their coloring pages and then hang each one (with a piece of tape or washi tape) from a piece of ribbon strung across the room. *Thank God in prayer for something you learned about him in the day's verse. *Host a Christmas coloring party with coloring pages, Christmas music, cookies, and hot cocoa. *Color pages to send to family members or take to a local nursing home. *Use with your Sunday school class or Bible study group.
