My husband’s 94 year old grandma gave my son a book filled with poems and on the inside she wrote this sweet verse:
“Richer than I you can never be —
I had a Mother who read to me.”
– Strickland Gillilan
With this verse in mind, I have lovingly stocked our bookshelves with books for his little imagination, and I was thrilled when I was able to add the Lucado Treasury of Bedtime Prayers. This sweet book is filled with poems that will inspire, teach and uplift your child. Each poem/prayer points your child to God and teaches things for which to pray. I know personally, my mind remembers poems and song lyrics better than anything else… I look forward to hearing my little man quoting some of these poems as he gets older!
Lucado Treasury of Bedtime Prayers
This collection of classic prayers, as well as brand-new prayers by Max and Denalyn Lucado, will help parents who want to make prayer a daily part of their children’s lives.
Prayer is the foundation of a believer’s life. This collection of prayers from Max and Denalyn Lucado offers parents a resource to teach little ones how to talk to God. This prayer collection includes classic prayers that have been updated for today’s young readers, introductory stories for each section, as well as twenty new prayers for little ones written by Max and Denalyn.
Max and Denalyn open the book with an expanded introduction that instructs parents on teaching their children to pray. A helpful prayer builder taken from Max’s trade book Before Amen teaches kids that there are four different kinds of prayers: worship, trust, compassion, and gratitude. This collection of new and classic children’s prayers are divided into ten sections. Children will find it easier to learn to pray with examples showing that prayer is a dialogue with God for all times. Beautiful art by Lisa Alderson complements the keepsake style of the book.
It’s never too early to lay a strong foundation for a child’s faith, and the Lucado Treasury of Bedtime Prayers will help parents do just that.
