Me and the kids really enjoyed reading, “That’s When I Talk about God”; A cute, finely illustrated story book to introduce children about prayer and talking to God, “That’s When I Talk about God”, introduces how prayer is a way to communicate with our Heavenly Father and how He is always available to hear our needs, our thoughts and our concerns and there is never such a thing as a bad time.
Geared for both young children and as old as around twelve, parents will find this touching and richly designed book, as a great gateway to help encourage children to start and continue a prayer life that will prayfully continue through out their lives.
What capture my attention was just the rich colors that were used to illustrate the book, the touching discussion of why we pray that is written in a way that helps children not only understand about prayer but open up discussion about prayer, particular for kids who may not yet understand that prayer isn’t always just a matter of repeating what is memorize, but its a mean of communication with our Heavenly Father.
A must read, if you are either looking for a way to talk with your kids about prayer or if they ask why do we need to pray, I highly recommend “That’s When I Talk About God”.
