A Child's Guide to Prayer

by Ancient Faith Publishing

A Child's Guide to Prayer is a beautifully illustrated prayer book for Orthodox Christian children aged 5-10 who are just developing a habit of prayer. The selection includes morning and evening prayers, prayers during the day, at mealtimes, for family and friends, and prayers of and to the saints—along with psalms to pray and prayers that have to do with communion and confession. All the prayers were carefully selected by priests and youth workers to ensure their age-appropriateness. The 120-page guide also includes brief instructions on how to pray, why we pray, and a list of different ways to pray. The book concludes with several blank pages for personal prayer requests.

Of course I love this book! As the editor I enjoyed every moment of helping prepare this story for publication. From the gathering of the text and consulting with a thousand priests and theologians and youth directors (maybe not quite a thousand, but plenty of opinions to juggle!), to all of the work with our art director, Matt, and the amazing animal-lover-illustrator, Tara Pappas. I hope that this prayer book inspires lots of little ones, and that these prayers float into their minds and brains, and that those prayers come to the aid of these children when their hearts are sad or their minds are running in circles. God is with us, and I'm so grateful to have been a part of this sweet project...

A lovely and comprehensive guide for children. Written in a way that elementary aged children can understand, this is an excellent guide to help them learn to prayer regularly.
