This selection of prayers for children of seven and over expresses the variety and richness of prayer. Designed for use at home, in church and at school, the book combines specially written prayers with well-loved traditional ones. Over ninety of the prayers were written by children themselves, and reflect their immediate joys, cares and concerns. The prayers are arranged by theme: beginning with home, school and everyday experiences, moving out to cover wider issues - the world, other people and our different feelings. There are also prayers for special occasions such as birthdays, Easter and Christmas. Attractive colour illustrations complement the mood and content of each theme. This companion volume to the immensely popular 'Children's Bible in 365 Stories' is a valuable addition to any child's bookshelf
