God's Big Promises: Bible Story Prayers

What a wonderful resource for teaching our children to pray! It is well-illustrated, teaches all about the Old Testament, and encourages various different kinds of prayer, from repentance to petition to thanksgiving to praise. What a gift to parents and all who care about spiritually nurturing the next generation!  | I cannot think of anything more important for a child to know than the fact that God delights to hear their prayers – especially when those prayers are grounded in Scripture. This resource is going to help families and children learn that God loves it when we pray the truths in his word back to him. | Vibrant prayers are informed by God’s word and fueled by his promises. Using God’s Big Promises Bible Story Prayers with your children can help them get into the rhythm of responding to God’s word through prayer even before they can read. It’s never too early for children to learn to respond to God’s great and precious promises through prayer! | Here is a great and faithful way to engage precious little minds and hearts that every parent, grandparent, relative and friend can use. This wonderful resource will help children share in prayers of praise, thanksgiving, confession and petition, using words and ideas that are just right for them (and – say it quietly – just right for grown-ups too!). | Learning to pray the Bible changed the way I talk to God. I’m thankful for a resource that will help my kids learn to pray Scripture much sooner than I did! | Prayer is a privilege... and it can be hard. That’s why written prayers are a gift to the whole church, and I love how this resource offers this gift to our kids. Each prayer is simple enough that a child can understand it yet rich enough to stir their hearts (and ours) with God’s amazing truth. My kids will love this! | Carl is Publisher and Co-CEO at The Good Book Company and is a member of Life Church Hackbridge in south London.
