\"Good<\/p>\n

It’s been awhile since I’ve published one of my “Scripture Sunday” coloring pages, but today seemed like a great day to begin that tradition afresh. Pretty coloring pages, like good books, are better when shared, so here is this week’s printable<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This coloring page draws its inspiration from 1 Thessalonians 2:8.<\/p>\n

Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is one of several vintage art prints I used in my newest devotional journal, Count Your Blessings<\/a>. Don’t you think it’s pretty? <\/p>\n

I firmly believe the sentiment expressed: Good books are<\/em> even better when shared!<\/strong> That’s one reason I share my monthly reading lists<\/a> on this blog. You can also find short reviews of many of my recent reads on Instagram<\/a> under the hashtag #flandersfamilyreads<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the book I want to tell you about today is extra special to me, because it was written by a dear friend about an even dearer friend.<\/strong> \ud83d\ude42 The title of the book is The Sweet Gospel<\/a>, the author is Mandy Ballard, and the subject is the Lord Jesus Christ and His incredible, sacrificial love for us!<\/p>\n

\"Good<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh, How Sweet to Trust in Jesus!<\/h2>\n

This book project has been in the works for some time now, and it is so satisfying to finally see it in print! I love Mandy’s heart for the gospel. It runs so deep that she is even donating all the proceeds<\/strong> from the sale of her book to HeartCry Missionary Society<\/a> in order to help spread the Good News of Christ’s redemptive love to those who’ve never heard.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Of course, ANY time is the right time to savor the Good News of the Gospel<\/strong>, but it seems particularly fitting to do so during this present season of Thanksgiving and Advent. And if good books are better when shared, Thanksgiving is a great time to share The Sweet Gospel with others, as well.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t already tasted the sweet gospel yourself, I pray you’ll accept the wonderful gift God offers you today<\/strong>, then spend the rest of your life savoring it and sharing it with others:<\/p>\n
