Book Description:
This iconic prayer is paired with flowing illustrations by award-winning artist
Richard Jesse Watson and thoughtful insights by bestselling author Rick Warren,
resulting in a book that rejuvenates the familiar prayer for a younger
audience. Using poetic scripture from the King James Version, The Lord’s
Prayer: Words of Hope and Happiness helps familiarize children with real
biblical text while also presenting contemporary illustrations and insightful
words that make this beautiful prayer come alive.
My Review:
The Lord's Prayer is a beautiful picture book for young children. I'd say it would be good for ages three through eight. Divided into natural segments per page spread, Rick Warren shares a brief and personable reflection of what Jesus' words mean. I like that he added a sentence prayer with each one, too. Mr. Warren is known for encouraging and uplifting people. He does this for his young audience, too. Mr. Watson's illustrations are colorful, lively, thoughtful, and well done. This would be a great teaching tool to introduce children to the Lord's prayer either individually or in a class. And what a comfort and joy for a child to hear how much Jesus loves him or her through this beautiful prayer. I received this book for free from Zonderkidz.
