New Release Bible storybooks with coloring pictures

7 e 300Jonah: The Fearful Prophet by Janice D. Green with drawings by Kimberly Merritt is a newly released Bible story book put out by Honeycomb Adventures Press, LLC. As do all Honeycomb Adventures Books, this book comes with a downloadable PDF file with square coloring pages suitable for making Bible quilts.

Jonah: The Fearful Prophet comes in three different formats. As always with books by HAP, there is the full-color edition, but this time there is also a coloring book edition and an e-Book edition. The story is written in easy to understand language for children, but unlike most children’s Bible storybooks, Jonah: The Fearful Prophet tells the whole story—enough that even the parents and caregivers might learn something new as well. There are also great discussion questions in all three editions, and puzzles in the print editions.

Title Page without creditsHoneycomb Adventures Press has also come out with a second edition of The Creation using Nancy Gordon’s illustrations that many of my readers have already found. This second edition has been revised in several ways and includes puzzles as well in the print editions. Like Jonah: The Fearful Prophet, it also comes in three formats and includes the link to a free downloadable PDF file of the coloring pages.

Miriam Higginson’s In the Beginning Bible Quilt


Bible Quilt by Miriam Higginson

I did a search on Google to see what Bible quilts I might find. This beautiful quilt was stitched by Miriam Higginson about ten years ago as a wedding gift to her daugher. It was made from a borrowed pattern so we regret that we are unable to locate or pass along purchasing information for this pattern.

Click on the picture to find Miriam Higginson’s blog and the article she posted about her In The Beginning Bible quilt.

New coloring pages

We have two new coloring pages by Violet Vandor on the Easter theme. One is of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem the Sunday before he was crucified. The second is of Jesus carrying his cross. She is currently working on two more pictures to add to our collection.
