Believe the part you can. Then go find the rest. It is nearer than you think.

When I published The Waiting Room of the Saints, Elias Vance’s account of the country every soul has been homesick for, more than one of you told me you didn’t want to just read it once and move on. You wanted to sit inside it a while. So I built a way to do that.

Thirty rooms in the house Elias described

The Waiting Room of the Saints: A Devotional Coloring Companion follows Elias’s account one movement at a time — the chariot at the door, the crossing, the Terrace of New Arrivals, the life review, the elder brother running down the hill, the gates of pearl, the street of transparent gold, the sea of glass, and the long fall home to finish the writing. Thirty designs in all, each one facing its own King James verse, a short original devotional, and a journaling page where you can write your own response before turning the page.

You don’t need to have read the novel first. Every page stands on its own Scripture, its own question, its own quiet room to color in — though if you have read it, you’ll recognize the country the moment you pick up a pencil.

A waiting room built for sitting still — pencil or marker in hand — until the words finally settle in.

Like the rest of the devotional coloring series, it’s printed single-sided only, so markers and gel pens won’t bleed through to the next design. It’s a comfortable 8.5 x 8.5 inch square format, with a color test page to try your pens before you begin.

Available now as an instant PDF download in the Shop — $7.99.

And if you haven’t read Elias’s account yet, you can still get the novel — the two were always meant to be read, and colored, together.
