Welcome to Issue No. 39 of PAILS IN COMPARISON, the value-added sidekick of John Pearson’s Buckets Blog. This blog features my “PICs”—shorter reviews of helpful books—with comparisons to other books in my 20 management buckets (core competencies) filing system.
Paint the Sistine Chapel Ceiling!
This is the perfect gift for both kids and adults who enjoy coloring books! Each page includes a Sistine Chapel Ceiling graphic to color—including classics like “The Creation of Adam” and “The Fall of Man and Expulsion from Paradise.”
Across the page from each graphic is a memorable insight from Michelangelo. Some of my favorites:
• “Perfection is no small thing, but it is made up of small things.”
• “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.”
• “Many believe and I believe—that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up; I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him.”
• “I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”
• “And still I am learning.”
My son, Jason Pearson, created this little gem—so you’ll excuse me if I add my joyful endorsement to this wonderful book. Jason’s creativity has amazed me over the years and you’ll enjoy and appreciate this special coloring book.
If you’re short of crayons or colored pencils, visit Amazon’s ready supply here. (And don’t miss the book’s challenge to find seven secrets of the Sistine Chapel in the soon-to-be colorful pages!)
ENJOY!
P.S. Pick up your coloring tools when the mood strikes you—and remember what Michelangelo also said: “No great work of art is ever finished.”
