Today's Book Review: Every Which Way to Pray

My Book Description:

When the entire month's focus is prayer and the Bible story lesson for the day is Noah and the Ark, the best option for a story book to end with is Everyday Zoo: Every Which Way to Pray by Joyce Meyers.  The children got a kick out of all the animal character species dressed in every day people's clothing.

I waited until the last 15 minutes of our 1 hour and 45 minute children's church session to read this book to our ages 4-5 group.   That is a decision I quickly regretted.  My feet were beginning to ache, and it was becoming overwhelmingly difficult to create a fun and quirky voice for all 7 of the characters in this story.  But, by the end of this story each child could identify a place and time to pray, plus some of the words that can be used in a prayer. I definitely would recommend this book for ages 4-7, it's in a language and environment that the children can grasp onto to.

Every Which Way to Pray, the first children's book written by New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer, is based on her book The Power of Simple Prayer and introduces a whimsical cast of Everyday Zoo characters, a group of quirky animals who interact and explore life lessons, together in their fun-filled community. Readers will discover that prayer is simply talking to God like a friend and should be the easiest thing we do each day.
