Our future is bright...

When I read the prayers and look at the pictures that these children have contributed, it gives me great hope for our future. The children express their thoughts with such pure and simple words and drawings. The book is profound in it's simplicity. I think children will love to read it, as it may convey what they themselves have been feeling and thinking. It may also prompt them to add a drawing or prayer of their own. I think adults will love it for some of the same reasons that I do. It reinforces my belief that with children like this in our world, the future is indeed bright. Everyone on our Christmas list this year is receiving a copy of this book.

Heartfelt & bittersweet. This book will touch your heart.

Often great tragedy brings forth a greater outpouring of love and prayer. But when prayer comes from children of many faiths with a common theme of love and caring then it becomes the most powerful of words that are so freely given. This amazing book captures the hearts and souls of America's children through their prayers and drawings following the September 11th disasters. Abby, age 6 draws a smiling sun, green trees and flowers and offers (in the color purple) "You can borrow MY guardian angel." Matt, age 12, ask God to help the injured to be healed, the missing that they may be found and the dead that they are safe in heaven. He asks forgiveness for all and that all are kept safe. Page after page is filled with the thoughts and prayers of our greatest natural resource, "Our children." It is through them that we will survive as a nation and as a caring people. Children's Prayers for America is an outpouring of love from our children and it will touch your heart. A portion of the proceeds is donated to 9/11 charities to support families, children & education.
