An imaginative collection of five-minute stories, designed to explore key aspects of prayer. The stories encourage children and adults to pray in their own way and their own language, but with a deeper understanding of prayer through exploring the Bible passages. The intention of the book is that prayer should be seen as integral to the life of a child, not merely a ritual act at the end of an event.
This book contains a wealth of imaginative five-minute stories written with both children and adults in mind. They can be used with only children present, only adults present, or with a mixed-age group and are suitable for use in a variety of situations. The stories illustrate some of the main-themes of the Christian life, such as grace, forgiveness, friendship, guidance, trust and prayer. Some have a traditional flavour, others a contemporary setting. Each story is accompanied by sermon pointers for four key Bible passages relating to the theme, questions for young listeners and suggestions for visual aids and actions.
