This
is a good book for young children on what prayer is and how to go
about it. It not only teaches about prayer but has kids actually
praying too.
It
starts with explaining what prayer is, then why we should pray, what
we should pray for, how to pray, etc. Each reading is about the
equivalent of one page of text, taking the child maybe five minutes
to read. Some are even shorter. There is a Bible verse at the
beginning of the reading and an encouragement to specifically pray at
the end. There are also cute illustrations on each page. There are
twenty two pages at the back of the book with space for children to
write down their prayers. There is also a prayer for salvation
near the back as well as a Parent Connection with suggestions for a
directed conversation about prayer.
I
think this book would work well with younger school age children,
around ages 6 to 9. The style of the illustrations might be too
childish looking for older children. It would make a good daily
devotional on prayer.
It was inspired by the recently released movie, War Room.
My
rating: 4 stars.
