Tales for the Prayer Journey is an imaginative collection of five-minute stories designed to explore key aspects of prayer. The intention of the book is that prayer should be seen as integral to the life of a child, not merely a ritual act at the end of an event. The stories encourage children and adults to pray in their own way and their own language, but with a deeper understanding of prayer through exploring the Bible passages. Each story has an introduction, key Bible verse and practical prayer steps. ... a treasure trove of adventure and reflection that children will enjoy and, through the helpful accompanying notes, they will be enabled to go deeper in their own relationship with God. Stephen Cottrell, Bishop of Chelmsford

Every Christmas tree has a tale to tell. There's a tale telling why the tree has become such an important part of our Christmas celebrations. And there is a story behind each of the things that we hang on the branches. This book includes short stories for each day of Advent, each illustrating a different aspect of Christmas and based around the dressing of the Christmas tree. It offers an unusual presentation of the Christmas story and includes traditional tales alongside the Christmas narrative itself, a Christmassy approach to the Christmas characters, and a look at Jesus as the Light of the World. With stories, comments, crafts and prayers on each page, this book is designed to delight every child who has felt a thrill of excitement at the sight of the Christmas tree. It includes photocopy permission on all craft illustration and full instructions for craft activities.
