Pray for the World
Pamella Bowen
Paperback
(Green & Purple Publishing, Oct. 16, 2018)
Looking for an interactive book to help your child learn to pray? Pray for the World asks children to compose their own prayers, in words or silently. Art and artists from around the world draw children’s hearts outside the immediate family, expanding their prayers. Pray for the World has several goals: to share the talents of rising artists, to teach children two prayer methods, to ask children to think kindly of others, and to spread God’s love. The author, Pamella Bowen, takes an ecumenical view, pointing out that people around the world may use different words for God, but prayer itself is universal. Open-minded and open-hearted, the book is best for ages 8-12.
