Synopsis

"How do I teach my children to pray when I really do not understand prayer myself?" In the belief that parents and Sunday School teachers are our principal role models and teachers in developing the spiritual lives of children, the Rev. Anita E. Keire addresses this persistent question by explaining to parents and teachers what prayer is all about and how to guide their children in prayer.

Review

A wonderful book for parents to learn about the power and diversity of prayer. Many of the prayers can be shared with parents and children together. The Rev. Virginia King Area Minister for the Connecticut Conference United Church of Christ

I liked what Anita had to say about children in worship and worship time in the classroom. It is exactly what we have been trying to accomplish here, and her book helps to reinforce these same ideas. I am also pleased with the section on understanding the Lord’s Prayer. I know that information will be a very helpful tool for everyone. The information for teachers and families on how to get started with prayer is great. This book will be an excellent resource for teachers and families alike.” Cora W. Hokunson Director of Church School Ministries First Church of Christ Simsbury, CT

This book is written from the ground up. It is not only theory; it is firmly anchored in the personal and professional experience of Anita Keire. Her exceptional biblical knowledge and her parish life is combined with an ear which is finely tunes to the idiom of youth. The Rev. Dr. Walter D. Wagoner Pastor Emeritus The Round Hill Community Church Greenwich, CT

The Reverend Anita Keire has made great inroads into the mystery of prayer with her book, A Parent’s Guide to Prayer. This book will help teachers and parents uncover prayer for themselves and their children. The whole area of what is prayer and how we can pray has been opened up to be explored. The cloak of mystery is beginning to lift. Susan Howell Minister of Religious Education First Church Congregational Fairfield, CT
