A World of Praise

A global hymn to God’s abundant love and care for his creation.

“As the sun rises above tall peaks,
As colorful birds sing in the steamy jungle,
We take each new day with you.”

From East to West, North to South, the world gives praise to God. Cherry trees blossom in Japan; geese honk over Greenland; stars glitter over the savannas of Kenya. No matter where we live—in the city or the countryside, by the sea or the mountains—we can find reminders of God’s goodness.

Celebrating diverse places like Peru, Estonia, and Nepal, this poetic, lushly illustrated book praises God’s love for people, creatures, and landscapes across the globe. Whether families savor one prayer at a time or travel through them all before bed, A World of Praise will encourage children to glorify God’s presence in creation and in their lives.
