Review: "Fine Linen and Purple" -

Fine Linen and Purple

Doesn’t that name just make you smile? Fine Linen and Purple.

Marcy Crabtree has done it again–produced a beautiful and useful product for you! It’s called Fine Linen and Purple: A Coloring Journal for Teen Girls Who Love Jesus. I have already printed it out and given it to my 12-year-old daughter.

What’s in Fine Linen and Purple?

What you’ll find are 28 journal pages with a memory verse at the top of each and prompts to journal about. “Ponder” has two questions to answer which refer to the verse studied and then “Pen” is free-journaling time. Then there is a whole coloring page for the “Paint” time! Animals, flowers, designs, etc.

Here is one page my daughter has started coloring:

My oldest daughter is just now about to enter the teen years. It’s time for me to segue from guiding her through a Bible study to her studying on her own. I like the way that Fine Linen and Purple will make a great transition. Here’s an example of what you’ll find in it. For the verse Philippians 1:6 “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ,” the following questions are asked:

What is this good work that God has begun in you?
How will you know when it has been completed?

I love that she will be thinking through these types of questions and journaling on them.

What Else I Like

What else I like about Fine Linen and Purple:

The ink is purple! (my favorite color)
It’s not an overwhelming Bible Study, but a gentle approach to get teen girls to meditate on and memorize God’s Word.
The verses chosen are great–all about having good speech and knowing their place as a daughter of God and waiting on and learning from Him.
The 28 verses are also printed in small card size so you can tape them up on your wall.
