Contemplative Coloring: A Celtic Experience of the Gospel of Matthew

Coloring is no longer for kids only. Not only is it just as fun as it was when we were children, but it can also be a contemplative experience. It creates a quiet space in our busy lives, a space that opens us to new insights and intuition. Coloring is good for our brains-and for our souls.

The images in this coloring book are taken from The Winged Man: The Good News According to Matthew, which is the first volume in Anamchara Books' Celtic Bible Commentary. Paired with each image is a short selection from the commentary, with a question to encourage a mental focal point as you color.

There's an old proverb that says, "Knowledge is only a rumor until it lives in the body." Coloring-engaging eye and hand-allows new truths to become integrated with your life. It's a way to participate in a new view of reality.
