Listen With Your Heart

By Alvina Y. Platt-Gregory

Book Overview

This book is acceptable for all ages and may actually be a fun way to involve children in learning more about prayer. The poems, many of which are short and rhyming, would be easy for children to read and recite. Platt-Gregory offers a different way to pray, one that is sometimes playful, and invites creativity and originality to your spiritual conversations and musings. This is a lesson believers of all ages can benefit from occasionally. - Allison Walker, Pacific Book Review

Book synopsis:

This collection is easy to follow. The poetry references common Bible stories and popular prayers, most familiar to the average Christian reader. Listen With Your Heart is not traditional poetry and there is no set form to the poems. Platt-Gregory's collection is surprisingly but pleasantly diverse.
