Product Description
Prayers, lessons, and truths for young hearts, minds, and souls

With colorful, captivating illustrations, the Catholic Prayer Book for Children helps boys and girls ages 6 to 10 discover the beauty of prayer as it encourages them to form the lifelong habit of praying.

Here are:

• Beloved, traditional Catholic prayers

• Original prayers that accurately reflect a youngster’s daily concerns and experiences

• A "how to" for offering his or her own prayers.

But more than a prayer book, Catholic Prayer Book for Children also puts in your child’s hands the basics of the Catholic Faith: the Ten Commandments, Beatitudes, sacraments, corporal and spiritual works of mercy, gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit, lives of the saints, and more.

With an age-appropriate "examination of conscience," and an introduction to the Mass and its major prayers, the Catholic Prayer Book for Children makes the perfect First Reconciliation or First Communion gift.

This is the keepsake your child will keep. The prayers, lessons, and truths we never outgrow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful First Communion Gift, May 12, 2004

By	A. VanHecke "Love2learn Mom" (Milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an attractive, full-color, child-friendly prayer book at a very reasonable price. At under $4 (for the softcover) it would make an excellent choice for parishes and schools to purchase for First Communicants. A substantial collection of traditional and "home-made" prayers are presented in a comfortable format. The book also includes prayers and mysteries of the Rosary, prayers from the Mass and a section on "Stuff Every Catholic Kid Should Know: Learning Our Faith Tradition". Highly Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Prayer Book!!!, March 20, 2006

By	S. Dunn "zandsdunn" (Alaska) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this for my four year old and she loves it. The prayers are really easy for her to understand and learn. It is a book that will be very helpful as she prepares for first communion and confirmation in the years to come. Not only does it have prayers but there are psalms, the 10 commandments, and the beatitudes. Great reference for any child who is learning about the Catholic faith. I am purchasing two more to give to my god children at Easter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Prayer Book!, January 18, 2007

By	Edward A. Massee "Edward A Masssee, NCTMB" (Aurora, IL.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Catholic Prayer Book for Children (Hardcover)

This is a wonderful way to introduce your child to prayer. The structure of the prayer book is great. The prayers will introduce your child to prayers of faith, the saints, praise of God, and how to just talk to God! I love this prayer book.
