Best-selling author Nancy Guthrie and much-loved illustrator Jenny Brake team up on this biblical theology of prayer for children.

Nancy explains in child-friendly language what prayer is, how and why we should pray, and the things we can pray about. There is a Bible verse for each topic, and a prayer for children to make their own.

This book will introduce children to the gift of prayer and will encourage them to enjoy speaking to their Father God.

"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.

It will take a child from the pre-school to the graduate school of prayer, from the ABCs to the depths of wisdom.
