SUMMARY:
Who am I? Through journaling, coloring, doodling, painting, reading, reflecting and praying, Live Free offers numerous pages on which to help you find your identity. With a Bible verse, a lined journaling page, and a black-and-white sketched picture to color, each two-page devotional offers creative ways to spend time with the Lord. As an author, speaker and church motivator, Margaret Feinberg joins the craze of adult coloring books with her newest book, while taking it even a step further.

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS:
Already having several themed coloring books (animals, flowers, cities), I was excited to add the journaling/ doodling aspect to the collection. Centered around a faith-theme, Live Free was perfect for those much needed quiet times. With nice, thicker pages and an assortment of different designs to color and explore, this book would be perfect as a gift to someone special, including yourself. Create!
