It is freeing to approach it that way; it takes the pressure off.
Thank you for stopping by. It’s good to see you!

Yes, I am impressed that this grandma is also investing in other children through this book. Hopefully, it will go through another round of editing soon.
Thank you for your comment.

Reading the title, I thought : "Do we really need a book explaining how to pray?", but your review leaves it clear that the content of this book is actually quite useful. Well done.

It's great to see a book that brings people of different Christian denominations together! There has been so much strife among different churches over the years, but the author of this publication is being inclusive to various forms of worship. Hopefully, the errors will be corrected.

Thank you for your honest review.

It is important for children to learn the true meaning of prayer. I totally agree with you about the errors. For a book with only 26 pages, the errors can easily be identified. Another round of editing should do the book justice. Thanks for the honest review.

I was surprised to see the various prayers and worship approaches in a children’s book. It’s obvious the author carefully considered what she included. Another round of editing is just the thing to make this book a great resource.
Thank you for your comment, Josephe-Anne!
