My daughter asks a lot of questions about God and religion. Thought this might be a good book for her to have. She loved it!

Excellent book for kids

I've really struggled to explain prayer in a meaningful way to my daughter and I am very impressed at what a wonderful job this author does in making prayer understandable, relevant, and valuable for children. There are lots of great examples and explanations, and the book is nicely illustrated and fun to read.

Great Explanation

I bought this book for my daughters. We loved it! I then purchased this book for a friend and her son. Her son is 6, and he really enjoyed it. I have read it to my Bible class at church, (1st-3rd) The kids there were very interested as well. The illustrations are great, and the explanations of prayer were very age appropriate. I think children will come away with a better understanding of how they can talk to God. Yet another fabulous book by Stormie OMartian.

OUTSTANDING! Get This Book!

Have you ever tried to explain to a child what praying is all about?

The storyline is based around the daily living of a child and in these situation Ms. Omartian weaves the many ways the child can interact with the Lord during them. For example, a baseball accidentally going through a window and the emotions the child is feeling, fear and sorrow.

They realize praying is freely talking with God, and not some scary thing Believers are required to do. The illustrations are priceless and truly bring the story to life with brilliant color and great facial features. I really enjoyed them. I loved this book and would highly encourage every one who has a child in their life that they would like to see have more communication with the Lord. and more understanding of the importance of talking with Him, to purchase this book. This book is a real faith builder! A great fun learning experience and a must for every young believer, and I sincerely mean that. Exceptional!
