A World of Prayers

by Jeremy Brooks

A good prayer makes you think, and it may even make you laugh! These prayers have been collected from every corner of the world and though the words may differ from country to country, the same universal themes of love, forgiveness, and hope run through them all. There are prayers for night and day, graces for mealtimes, and blessings too. Beautiful illustrations help to make this a perfect first prayer book for young children.

Reviews

[Jo Oehrlein · Rating 3 out of 5]

Book of morning prayers, meal time prayers, bedtime prayers, and a few blessings from around the world (translated into English).

Some prayers are overtly Christian. Others say nothing that would be inappropriate in a Christian context.

[Angela · Rating 3 out of 5]

The illustrations are pretty. The author's note in front has a decidedly Christian bent. All of the prayers would be appropriate for a traditional Christian Church. Many of the prayers address "Lord Jesus" or "Jesus Christ".

A more appropriate title would be a World of Christian Prayer. Not inclusive.

pretty children's book with prayers from around the world--heavy on Africa, Europe and Asia.

[Joan Arbogast · Rating 5 out of 5]

Prayers collected from around the world make a perfect "first book of prayers" for young children.
