If you’re looking for a meaningful gift for yourself, your kids, or someone who needs encouragement, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s more than pages to color. It’s an invitation to see again with fresh eyes.

Okay, confession time: I haven’t colored seriously since I was maybe ten years old. But when I heard about “Good News” The Coloring Book inspired by PTtheGospelSpitter’s gospel single, I ordered one without thinking twice. And honestly? It’s been one of the most refreshing spiritual practices I’ve picked up in years.

Ashante PT Stokes, who performs as PTtheGospelSpitter, poured his heart into the song “Good News” while facing real hardship. That same cover art now lives on every page of this coloring book, paired with powerful scripture references. The vision is clear: help all of us convert and become like little children so we can see YHWH’s Kingdom of Heaven.

There’s something profound about that call. In our busy, skeptical adult lives, we complicate everything. Faith included. But Jesus kept it simple — become like kids. Curious. Dependent. Quick to trust. Quick to forgive. Full of wonder.

Coloring forces that childlike posture whether you like it or not. You can’t rush it. You have to choose colors carefully (or not so carefully). You breathe slower. And while your hands move, your mind has space to sit with the scripture printed on the page. It’s like the illustrations are gently whispering the Good News to you.

I remember one evening I was stressed about work and family stuff. I opened the book to a page with a scripture about peace. As I filled in the details with soft greens and yellows, something shifted. The worry didn’t magically disappear, but my heart felt lighter. More open. More childlike. It reminded me how often I try to control everything instead of trusting like a kid trusts their parent.

What makes this project special is that it comes from someone who’s walked through fire. Stokes wrote the song during incarceration, turning that painful chapter into a declaration of hope. Now he’s extending that hope through art that families, youth groups, and individuals can enjoy together. It’s creative, it’s accessible, and it’s deeply rooted in scripture.

I’ve started using it as part of my quiet time. Sometimes I play his “Good News” track in the background. The rhythm and lyrics blend perfectly with the visual experience. It feels holistic — body, mind, and spirit all engaged in worship.

Parents, listen up: this is gold for your kids. Instead of another screen, you get quality time coloring and talking about faith in a natural way. “What do you think this verse means?” “Why do you think God wants us to be like children?” The answers you’ll hear might surprise and bless you.

For adults who feel burned out on traditional devotionals, this offers a fresh path. No pressure to journal perfectly or pray eloquently. Just color, reflect, and let the Good News sink in deeper.

The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those with childlike hearts. In a culture that celebrates cynicism and complexity, this coloring book is a quiet rebellion — a return to simplicity and joy.

If you’re looking for a meaningful gift for yourself, your kids, or someone who needs encouragement, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s more than pages to color. It’s an invitation to see again with fresh eyes.

Pick up your pencils. Open your heart. The Good News is waiting — in full color.
