Praying in Color: Kids' Edition will forever change the way that kids pray, and how adults try and teach them to do it. This is prayer that makes sense to kids. One minute a day will do. Any time of the day will work. Drawing is half the prayer, the other half is carrying the visual memories with you throughout the day. The first book, Praying in Color (ISBN 978-1-55725-512-9), has seen four printings and thousands of lives changed in its first eighteen months of publication. Now Sybil MacBeth has created the ideal kids' version. From the book: Our words make great prayers. But words don't always seem to be there when we need them most. They are sneaky. Words play hide and seek. Just when we're searching for the ones we want, they go missing like socks under the bed. On some days, Thank you,Help,I'm sorry, and Please are the only prayer words we can find. Praying without words is another option. But what do you do, if you're not using words? How do you pray for yourself or other people without words? How do you get quiet and listen to what God might say? Look at the drawing on the next page. Believe it or not, it is a prayer. It is a prayer doodle for Ben, Keisha, Matt, Ashley, and Taylor.…

This first-of-its-kind resource will forever change the way kids pray. Easy to use and comforting, with great illustrations that help get started.
Praying in color is a wonderfully interactive experience for kids to pray. This book allows children to explore creative ways of talking to God--using color, imagination, drawing and doodling. A colorful toolkit, Praying in Color introduces different brush strokes and squiggle options, a variety of names kids can use to address God, selections of Bible verses, and offers many types of prayer. With just paper and coloring kids can pray by drawing their concerns for their family and friends and connecting them with God's love. A fun and creative way to pray together!
One minute a day will do. Any time of the day will work!
"MacBeth makes it astonishingly clear that anyone with a box of colors and some paper can have a conversation with God."
—Publishers Weekly, starred review for Praying in Color: Drawing a New Path to God

About the Author
Sybil can’t remember a time when she didn’t pray; but sitting still and closing her eyes were not in her childhood-prayer skill set. She loved to memorize Scripture passages, the names of books of the Bible in order, and lots of traditional prayers and hymns. She carried those words with her as a growing vocabulary of faith and prayer. She continues to love to doodle, dance, sing, walk, read, and talk about God. Sybil combines her lifelong love of prayer with her experience as a community college mathematics professor to offer workshops and retreats throughout the U.S. and Canada. Her workshops, both prayerful and playful, engage people of varied learning styles. Sybil is married to Andy MacBeth, an Episcopal priest, and is the mother of two adult sons.
Praying in Color has been translated into Spanish, Italian and Korean. Her 2014 book The Season of the Nativity: Confessions and Practices of an Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany Extremist (Paraclete Press, Fall 2014) invites people to experience the richness of the holiday season at home.
