About the Book:
A companion prayer book to 99 Stories from the Bible with delightful illustrations in a strong vibrant style and prayers for all occasions. The prayers are a combination of traditional and modern and provide an introduction to family prayer time with young children, bringing talking to God to life in the heart of every child.
My Thoughts:
From Robert Lewis Stevenson to
Francis of Assisi from bedtime prayers to holiday prayers of gratitude, 99 Prayers for Children is a beautifully
illustrated introduction to prayer as a way of life. To teach children to go first to God with
everything from their fears to their peaceful sleep is to teach them a lifetime
of conversing with their Creator God in an intimate, natural way that will open
their hearts and minds to receive all that God has for them in this lifetime.
Truly, this is a rather complete
offering that is well organized into easy to find topics ranging from thankfulness
and praise to mealtimes and protection.
It seems you could offer this book to a wide range of youngsters
reaching from early toddlers through early elementary. The illustrations only add to the prayers
with their whimsical facial features and pastel palette.
I would offer this book as a
shower gift, birthday gift or a holiday surprise. It is appropriate for a variety of occasions! I am happy to recommend this beautiful book
to everyone!
