This book's a real treasure.

I've always loved Michael Hague's illustrations. Once again, he's made a book a visual pleasure. His art brings the words to life. He's selected wonderful prayers that will appeal to children -- and to any older person reading to them. I'm probably prejudiced, since he included one of my favorites: "God be in my head, and in my understanding. God be in my eyes, and in my looking..." John Rutter wrote a beautiful choral setting of this prayer. I sang it once, and have been looking for the text ever since.The board book means a child can hold and handle the book and "love" it -- helps make prayer part of everyday life (vs something distant or for adults only). A beautiful book -- and affordable.
A must for the Christian home!

The captivating illustrations alone would have prompted me to purchase this book, but what a joy to find such spirit-lifting content! Included were prayer favorites and some new ones for me. I had bought this book for my toddler but have found it a treasure to share with all the family.
An inspirational treasure for both parent and child.

This book is beautifully illustrated and is filled with heart warming simple prayers for all occasions. My nineteen month old daughter cherishes every moment with me as I read from each page at bedtime. My daughter is developing a love for books and at the same time is learning to make prayer a part of her life. Many of the prayers bring back my own childhood memories of praying with my Mother and Grandfather.
