• God’s People Have Always Prayed

• The Psalms Give Us Words to Pray

 “‘What Every Child Should Know about Prayer’ is a delightful book with warm and inviting illustrations, as well as helpful guidance on how to talk to God. Nancy Guthrie invites children to pray by teaching them truths about prayer, sharing stories of people who prayed, and providing prayers that children can pray on their own. This book is a wonderful resource for both children and parents!”
~ Melissa Kruger, Author of Walking with God in the Season of Motherhood

“Praying to God is so simple a child can do it, but grown-ups often make it needlessly complicated. God wants an honest conversation about what’s true and what matters. In this disarmingly profound book, Nancy Guthrie awakens child-like faith. The format of the book is perfect for a child and parents to read at bedtime or breakfast. The illustrations are thoughtful. It will take a child from the pre-school to the graduate school of prayer, from the ABCs to the depths of wisdom. God’s beloved children (of all ages) will find this book boots-on-the-ground practical.”
~ David and Nan Powlison, Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation
