Praying with Jesus

Help kids move beyond thinking of prayer as a “wish list” or test of how many church words they can cram into one sentence. Written for both the self-proclaimed “experts” and the nervous newbies, Praying with Jesus shows kids that prayer is a life-giving, love-inspired interaction with our Creator.

Using the Lord’s Prayer as a guide, Praying with Jesus takes an in-depth look at why and how we pray. Written in a conversational style for elementary-age readers, it removes the barriers of awkwardness and intimidation that often prevent kids from embracing a life of prayer.

Praying with Jesus includes opportunities for kids to write, draw, and record their own thoughts in the book. By the end, kids will have a personal keepsake of their prayer journey.

• Hand them out to small groups to read and discuss.
• Read them in Sunday school and guide kids through a new section of the book each week.
• Provide them for personal devotion time during retreats, camps, or lock-ins.
