Amen to the Lord's Prayer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
It is rare to find children's books about God that aren't overly dramatic or dogmatic in their style; therefore, imagine my surprise when I finally discovered a children's book about God that actually had flare, originality, and a deep spiritual vein. Bijou Le Tord's story, The River and the Rain, is an enchanting retelling of the Lord's prayer. The universality of the story makes this Christian story a welcoming prayer for all, just as God would intend. Unlike other Christian authors, Le Tord does not liken God and prayer to trite depictions of right and wrong in the traditional sense of the word. Instead, she uses the simple elegance of nature, the destruction of nature, and the forgiving harmony of nature to reword a passionate prayer to the Lord. Le Tord's story is one that will be around for ages to come because in our more "liberal minded world", constrained views about religion will not be tolerated; thus it is an immense relief to see somebody trying to teach young people the beatuy of accepting all of God's creations, whether in nature or in daily life.
