Ernesto Lozada Uzuriaga Author Interview

What I really liked about The Contemporary Christian Colouring Book is that each image evokes the idea of a stained-glass window one might see inside a church. How did you decide which images made it into the book?

It was a very eclectic criteria. I was looking for balance, rhythm too, it has to flow from one page to the other. There was some logic in the arrangement but also it was very intuitive.

Why did you think it was important to create this book for contemporary Christians?

Christians need to re-think and re-imagine their faith in an evolving and fast changing culture. The purpose of these images is to challenge us to ask questions and reflect ‘what does it mean?’

My favorite image was Jesus and the 99%. Do you have a favorite image in the collection?

I couldn’t say…all are my children

I like colouring because it’s relaxing. Why do you think adult colouring books are so popular today?

Because it give you a pause. Life is so hectic that we need as never before pauses in our life.
