Title: FOR THIS CHILD I PRAYED
Author: Stormie Omartian
Illustrator: Susan Rios
Publisher: Havest House Publishers
July 2012
ISBN: 978-0736950640
Genre: Gift book

FOR THIS CHILD I PRAYED is a prayer book for parents – whether their child is a newborn and they are learning how and what dedicating him to the Lord means and entails, or whether the child is a young adult and making decisions on their own.

I prayed these prayers over my man-child today as I read FOR THIS CHILD I PRAYED, and I will be keeping this book in a central location to pick up and pray for my two sons or my three daughters.

The book has beautiful illustrations to go with the prayers, inspirational thoughts, and scripture verses. This would be an ideal baby shower gift to a new parent, or a just because gift for any parent. Highly recommended. $15.99 hardcover. 48 pages.
