This sturdy book has prayers quoted from Scripture and written by well-known people such as Billy Graham, John Bunyan, and Abraham Lincoln. �There are also traditional children’s prayers. �Just as the title indicates, there are 100 prayers. �Each prayer has a two-page spread including a short devotional type story on the left-hand page and an illustration and reminder on the right-hand page. �Some of the reminders are quotes or scriptures. �Also, the corresponding song and it’s location are indicated with a disc graphic.
As an example, pages 110-111 features a prayer titled “The Lord is Good to Me” attributed to Johnny Appleseed. �The story shares that John Chapman aka Johnny Appleseed was a missionary. �It also instructs to thank the Lord for simple things. �The reminder states “Little prayers are like little seeds, once planted, they bring forth the fruit of blessing.” �The back of the book has two indices for searching by author or by the title of the prayer.
This lovely little book (7″x8 3/4″) has a pocket on each inside cover to hold the two CDs that accompany the prayers. �Each disc has 50 songs and are referenced by disc number and song number. �The music is typical children’s music. �Most of my children enjoyed it. �It is not something I could listen to for any length.
Since we cover Bible reading and prayer as part of our ‘school’ time, I plan to use this on the weekends. �Each reading is just short enough to keep us in our daily routine of prayer and Bible time without interfering with any plans–even if we are out of town. �These selections are not fluffy bits to pretend we are doing something meaningful, but great nuggets of truth and faith. �Just right for little ones and great starters for something deeper for older children.
Our family received this through Book Sneeze, a program for reviews by Thomas Nelson. �This is my own opinion and I was not paid for this review.
