This Little Prayer of Mine

by

I love listening to the prayers of children—how innocent and precious they are! As a parent, I hope to teach my children that their prayers are important and that taking time to talk with God is an essential part of life. Of course, children learn by example, and I try to model a life of prayer, but I also appreciate good books that can help my children to understand the importance of a faithful walk with God.

In his new book, This Little Prayer of Mine, Anthony DeStefano uses engaging rhymes to teach children that their prayers are important to God. He also discusses good times to pray: when we are fearful, when we are sad, when we need to make a decision, when we want to praise Him, etc… While these concepts can be applicable to both children and adults, DeStefano includes examples that are easy for children to understand, and Mark Elliott’s illustrations beautifully depict scenes that attract the interest of children.

This Little Prayer of Mine has garnered praise from many, including Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King, Dr. James and Shirley Dobson, and Pat and Shirley Boone (among others). It is a wonderful reminder that God loves the little children, and they can turn to Him in prayer at any time.

  2. Definitely would be useful for my child. We are still trying to decide how much of a role religion/spirituality/church/God is going to play in our Children’s lives.

  3. Sounds like a great book and one I’d love to add to my daughter’s library. I grew up reciting prayers and never really learned how to pray/talk to God from my own heart……this is something I really want to teach/model for my daughter.

  4. this looks like such a sweet book! it would be perfect for my almost 3 year old and 6 year old.

  7. Both, my little great-niece and great-nephew will be celebrating their
    birthdays this spring! What a wonderful book of prayers for them.
    It make would a fabulous keepsake gift book.
    Many thanks, Cindi

  8. I would love to win this for my grandson. It is fun to listen to his prayers…things like asking for “a great day tomorrow…cause it’s my birthday” 🙂

  17. I LOVE this book. I received it as a gift for my firstborn 9 yrs ago and I’ve used it for my other 2 children and they love it as well. I adore the fact that the prayers are written in such a way that my kids feel comfortable, happy and enthusiastic about reading them.

  24. This sounds like a great book! I am just starting to get more prayer questions from my newly-turned-4 year old and would love to have a copy of this book to share with him and pass along to others.
