More about these Bible coloring pages

Yesterday afternoon, my 10-year-old asked about James while coloring one of the pages. I pointed out an image of James preaching, and he said, 'Is that the same James who was with John?' It was a great moment to connect their friendship to the story of faith. The pages include details like James' fishing boat and him sharing the Gospel, which helps kids visualize his journey. As we talked about Acts 12:2, where 'He had James, the brother of John, put to death,' it deepened their understanding of sacrifice and dedication. These coloring pages are a wonderful way to make the story engaging and memorable for my kids.
