| In this clip, Richie is 23-years-old. He was ready for bed but as soon as I ask him to go to the Lord in prayer, notice how he's always ready to pray with me. The best part of my day is listening to him recite the Lord's prayer. Even with his limited ability to speak, you can hear that he does know the Lord's prayer, even though it's not spoken clearly. To this day, it's magical to hear him recite the Lord's prayer. I cherish the gift of praying with him. |
I had two other children book's that were written and ready to print, but this project, God's book, would be published first.
It was the most important project I had ever started and I knew the book was special. So special that it met the approval of two beautiful siblings.
What do we say to the Lord? How do we pray? What do we talk to God about? The answer is pretty simple, as the book illustrates. We can pray about and for everything and anyone that is important to us (or not), and we can talk to God about everything and anything that is happening in our lives and/or around us. God knows what is in our hearts, He hears our thoughts and most importantly - He hears all of our voices, including our nonspeaking ones.
Online Book reviews:
This book is absolutely perfect to read to littles or for intermediate readers! Both of my kids adored it, and related to the story as well. So happy I was able to snag a few copies to share with their teachers! - Samantha S.
Beautiful! This is such a simple, yet powerful book. A wonderful conversation between a non speaking child and God. Christine has written a prayer that is for children and adults of all ages.
A touching way a mother expresses how she interprets her non speaking child's thoughts and appreciation to the people, and God through his perspective. - Sue L
Great book for children, and even adults!
This book is a great & simple read for children & adults. Understanding that God loves us, and we must learn to pray & become closer to God no matter what we may be going through. I love how the author included The Lords Prayer at the end. Emily G.
