77 Ways to Pray with Your Kids

“Theories and philosophies about prayer abound, but when it comes to praying with the kids, we need a guide that is practical, simple, and easy to incorporate. This book is that guide, and I cannot recommend it highly enough!” --Leila Miller, Little Catholic Bubble Whether you are just getting started with family prayer or looking to broaden your horizons, 77 Ways to Pray with Your Kids can help, offering practical, kid-friendly guides to Christian prayer practices both ancient and new.

Along the way, you may find a handful of practices that become a part of your family's routine. Features of 77 Ways to Pray with Your Kids include: * Age-appropriate adaptations for young children, older kids, and teens. * Articles on a wide range of practices, including Liturgy of the Hours, Answering Jesus' Questions, Bite-Size Biblical Prayers, Blessing One Another, Contemplative Prayer, Daily Examen, Lectio Divina, Novenas, Adapting the Rosary for Kids, Grab-bag Prayers, and more. * "Talking Points" offers a quick explanation of prayer practices that might raise questions from your kids (for example, "Why do we pray for the dead?"). * "Learn more" connects you to the relevant section of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and other primary church documents. * An appendix that includes thirty-three common and useful Catholic prayers for easy reference.
