There are 50 devotions that make up this refreshing book.  All of the devotions are joy based.  The purpose of this particular title in the 5 Minute with Jesus series is to help the reader seek and find joy in all circumstances.  There isn’t any wonder why I decided to review it in this season of my life.

Live Fearless is an adult coloring book which uses Scripture as its foundation.  There are more than a dozen Scriptures for one to reflect on and memorize.  The coloring book helps weave Scripture that reminds us to be fearless and to trust into our hearts and minds.  You will find Isaiah 41:10 and Luke 12:32 among the pages of Margaret Feinberg’s artistic works.  This coloring book isn’t only about coloring though there is room for journaling and reflection for each of the Scriptures presented in the book.
