~ (Author), Elsa Warnick (Illustrator)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Celebratory and comforting, simple and sweet, here is an illustrated book of prayer that serves as a kind of breviary for children. With three original, psalm-based prayers for each day of the week, children have a new prayer each morning, rest time, and bedtime. This is a book of days that will appeal to children of the many faiths that incorporate fixed-hour prayer, such as Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

With broad, gentle language and soft, soothing art, This Is What I Pray Today is a beautifully packaged volume that includes a ribbon bookmark and offers even the youngest children prayers for Sunday, Monday, and every day of the week.

I bought two copies of this book, one for each daughter. It provides us some variety in our prayers, something besides "Now I lay me down to sleep!" Beautiful illustrations!

I want to teach my children the Spiritual Disciplines that were such ingrained good centuries ago. I tried and tried to find a book that they could read and understand on prayer. I wanted them to have their own "rule" of prayer. I wanted to help them make their time with God their own, and for it not to come from me. This book is a huge help. They love the pictures, and my four year old thinks the satin book mark is so nifty. Both of my children like to read from it during Morning, Afternoon, and Evening prayer. It gives me a few minutes of silence- and them also time to reflect on our blessings. Great book- Mrs. Tickle. Thank you for thinking of our children.
