Allow me to share a wonderful way to learn scripture, no matter your age! Fellow author Annie Douglas Lima has created a lovely activity book that’s suitable for the kid in all of us. Check out the inspiration behind this project and see how it can help you keep God’s word close. All proceeds go to support Bible translation which makes this a win-win. Check out the sample to print and color from Hebrews 4:12 by clicking here!
More than just a coloring book, this inspirational activity book will help you relax, unwind, and enjoy some creative fun while hiding God’s Word in your heart.
The 35 separate verses and passages are printed in colorable word art with decorative borders, blank on the back to make them easier to remove and frame or display, if desired. Each one is accompanied by two different activities or puzzles featuring the verse or key words from it.
Hide it in Your Heart is an ideal Scripture memorization aid for Christian schools, homeschool programs, Sunday schools, or your own personal use. Children and adults will enjoy learning, practicing, and meditating on these artistically presented verses from the New International Version Bible.
Proceeds from the sale of Hide it In Your Heart will be donated to www.Christar.org to help provide a translation of God’s Word for a particular people group in East Asia who do not yet have the Bible in their own language.

Read on to learn the inspiration behind this activity book:
A few months ago, one of my colleagues was leading us teachers in staff devotions before work (as a Christian school, we do that twice a week). As a part of her message, she handed out markers, colored pencils, and little slips of paper on which she had printed the Bible verse she was talking about. It was written in several different fun “outline fonts”, and she turned on some music and suggested we spend the last few minutes meditating on the words as we colored them in. It was so much fun, and as she mentioned, coloring the words really made them stand out in my mind. The activity wasn’t even over before I thought, Someone should make a whole coloring book like this! People would love it, and it’s such a good way to really think about each word and phrase! And so I decided to be the one to do it.
It didn’t seem right to keep the proceeds from this book – after all, I didn’t actually write the book. ☺ I felt that God wanted me to donate whatever money this project brings in to a cause that would help advance His kingdom. I’m friends with a missionary family who are translating the Bible for a particular ethnic group in a nearby country, and it’s been wonderful hearing about what God has been doing through them in the lives of these people who had never heard His word before. The idea that I can play a small part in that ministry by donating the proceeds from this coloring book is thrilling to me! Besides, the book is all about God’s word, so it seemed appropriate for it to be used to bring God’s word into people’s lives in more ways than one.
