Initially only intending to skim through to check the theology presented before handing it over to my 10 year old, I ended up reading the entire thing in just a few hours. I had never heard of the author, but now I have a few of his books added to my TBR list!
This was packed with great information, practical implementation strategies, and helpful examples of real kids and adults, and it is all presented in a way that would be appealing for a kid to read. I would say this could be good for ages 8-14, as a general rule- but then again, I'm 34 and I enjoyed it and found it really helpful!

I really liked it because sometimes I don't pray because I don't know what to say but it inspired me to pray more. And even though it is about praying it still had loads of funny bits in.

Pete Grieg gives young people the ultimate guide in how to praise and pray to God. Lots of diagrams and pictures meant it was easy to interpret. I would recommend this book to children 8+, who are looking to find out more about God.

Loved going through this as a family! This book is a great resource (for children and adults) on the gift, practice and perspective of prayer. It’s filled with inspiring testimonies and creative ideas that encourage prayer.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A wonderful book. Read in just under two hours with a little note taking. Such great language and ideas for introducing and continuing prayer with children!
Written for kids, but a great read for parents and kids team leaders.
