Arise Beautiful: An Illustrated Scripture Devotional with space for coloring, journaling, creative reflection and prayer.

By Diane Ford

My beloved speaks and says to me:
“Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.”
Song of Solomon 2:10 ESV


Through her peaceful and graceful illustrations
inspired by the poetic imagery of Song of Solomon
as well as her own personal Bible art Journaling,
Diane Ford invites you to:

Pause amidst the challenges of whatever season of life
you are in,

Breathe in the Holy Spirit and truths of God’s word,

Surrender your worries, anxieties and concerns to the
Lord and

Remember God’s promises for your life

as you reflect on beautifully illustrated
passages of scripture.
