'A wonderful book. Read in just under two hours with a little note taking. Such great language and ideas for introducing and continuing prayer with children! Written for kids, but a great read for parents and kids team leaders.' Good Reads review #11088;????
' This is genuinely one of the best books I've ever read. Pure gold! ' Reader review ?????
' Having enjoyed Pete Greig's teaching on prayer (and Gemma Hunt's presenting of Swashbuckle ;)), I can't quite put into words how excited I was when I heard this book was going to be released. When it arrived, it didn't disappoint! Aimed at 8-11s, I actually ended up reading it to my 7yo twins, who lapped it up. But I'm planning to read it to my 13yo and 11yo too, because it feels entirely suitable to use up to early teens. Using the P.R.A.Y. acronym (Pause Rejoice Ask Yes) found in the adult 'How to Pray' book (and associated Prayer Course), this book is helpfully structured in bite-size chunks featuring Pete's teaching, Gemma's experience, inspirational stories, prayer quotes from kids and (my son's favourite) practical prayer activities. A brilliant book to make prayer accessible, relevant and regular in our kids' lives.' Reader review ?????

Reviews / Votes
My children are 9 and 10 and when I offered to read a bit of this book to them, the agreed reluctantly.However, when I offered to stop after a few pages, they wanted me to read on, to the extent that I got through about a quarter of the book in one sitting with them.
That is a great testimony as to how good this book is.
I hope you will get a copy and one for your child / godchild / grandchild / friends' child too.
Not just for children! A wonderful encouragement to pray for prayer explorers of any age! Clearly and winsomely presented. Get your copy! * Godventure.co.uk *
