Book Reviews of This Little Prayer of Mine
Book Review: Blog Tour
Summary: 5 Stars
As many of you know I have done Blog Tours for WaterBrook Multnomah Press for the past couple of years. Usually the books I have done are of the Christian Living/ Discipleship genre. One of the more recent requests was a break from my usual fare but I thought it would be worth a shot. As always, this book was provided for review by the WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group.
This Little Prayer of Mine, by Anthony DeStefano and illustrated Mark Elliot, is a children's book about our simple requests to God. The illustrations are beautiful and lifelike. The writing is from the perspective of a child saying their bedtime prayers. Requests for courage in the face of fear, smile to replace tears, wisdom to make right decisions and forgiveness for wrongs done are among the requests made. There is thankfulness for the things God gives us and for the beauty of the seasons, for the help to be generous with our possessions. The prayer ends with acknowledging the unknown of the future but trusting in God plan as best, and of all the things we could ever have knowing that God loves us is enough.
If you are looking for a book to give to a child (yours or someone else's) or to buy for your churches Children's Ministry, this book would be a perfect for such occasions.
Now for a child's perspective-
I'm Sarai, and this is my Daddy's blog. Let me tell you what I think of this book. I just love it, the pictures remind me of kids like me. The book is about a child's prayer to God. They pray for the same things that I pray for. I think all kids will really like this book. Ok, I'm going to go play ball now, bye.
Summary of This Little Prayer of Mine
Nothing Compares to Childlike FaithI know you're up in heaven, God,
and can hear my voice from there.
I'm just a little child.
Will you answer my short prayer?
So begins this delightful book that affirms God's readiness to answer our prayers, no matter what our age.
With engaging rhymes and beautiful illustrations, This Little Prayer of Mine assures children that God is always near--watching, listening, caring, and eager to respond to their requests. They'll also learn that prayer isn't just about asking for things, but about sharing their feelings of sadness and uncertainty as well as of thanksgiving and joy.
Most importanly, This Little Prayer of Mine reminds children?and those who love them?that they can trust God to tenderly care for them, no matter what the future holds.
