' This is genuinely one of the best books I've ever read. Pure gold! ' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
' Having enjoyed Pete Greig's teaching on prayer (and Gemma Hunt's presenting of Swashbuckle ;)), I can't quite put into words how excited I was when I heard this book was going to be released. When it arrived, it didn't disappoint! Aimed at 8-11s, I actually ended up reading it to my 7yo twins, who lapped it up. But I'm planning to read it to my 13yo and 11yo too, because it feels entirely suitable to use up to early teens. Using the P.R.A.Y. acronym (Pause Rejoice Ask Yes) found in the adult 'How to Pray' book (and associated Prayer Course), this book is helpfully structured in bite-size chunks featuring Pete's teaching, Gemma's experience, inspirational stories, prayer quotes from kids and (my son's favourite) practical prayer activities. A brilliant book to make prayer accessible, relevant and regular in our kids' lives.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
