Happy New Month! Welcome to the Month of August. New month! New Book! Let’s Go!!!💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
I’m so excited to be finally sharing this Book with you! It’s so colourful, so Biblically sound! It fits perfectly into our theme of helping you introduce God to your kids in a fun, Colourful and Exciting way!
1. Let’s start with the Title – I love the intentionality of the Title, the colours, bubble like shapes depicting words coming out of the mouth of kids and overall concept used for such a deep and powerful topic. Even though this topic of Prayer is a tough nut to crack or explain to kids, the way it is presented in this Book, makes it a whole lot easier. It’s just the perfect way to get the attention of kids.
2. A Great Conversation Starter – The title itself is an excellent conversation starter. Even before opening the book, the prayer conversation can begin. It’s more like the appetiser before the main meal! If you do decide to get the Book, I recommend that you start right there – The Cover of the book.
Ask your kids – What do you think? Anytime? Anyplace? Anywhere? Do you really think it’s possible to Pray to the Almighty God from just about anywhere? Any kind of prayers? Like any kind? What if you don’t like your friend and you want God to deal with that person. Does God answer such prayers? Then watch them give you answers. Use that as the compass to guide further discussions as you read the Book.
2.Biblically Sound Theology & Examples – Anytime, Anyplace , Any Prayer is a Biblically sound book about the subject of Prayer. I like the fact that the author @Laura Wifler took the story right from what happened at the garden of Eden and connected it to Jesus.
She also connected it to other people in the Bible who prayed “any kind of prayer” “from anywhere”. She used examples like Hannah who prayed at the temple only muttering words from her heart, Jonah who prayed from the belly of the whale and of course Jesus the perfect Model who talked to God any place, anytime with just about any prayer! Isn’t that Just absolutely wonderful?
Here’s a part of the Book I really Love
You can tell God every thought you have, Every Question you wonder , Every feeling you feel. You can pray, when you feel your love for God is so much you think your heart is going to burst, When you want something so badly it’s all you can think, When you sin and need forgiveness , When you need help to do the right thing….
You can pray for a friend who is sick, After a dream you had , To say thank you for your Food…

So beautiful! Don’t you think? I love, Love it! I was literally dancing when I got the book. I’m truly excited when I get books these days that communicate deep truths and truly have children in mind. It makes me so happy. I have no doubt it makes God happy too!
In my opinion, this appropriate for much older children – from about age 5 to 10 because it is really rich and full of deep truths. It’s not a book you can skim through in a minute. It’s to be digested gradually. So when reading, I suggest you break it up into about 2 to 3 or even 4 parts as they all have rich lessons to learn in each section. The Illustration is also very good! A bit on the abstract side which is the signature of the illustrator but it’s all so good!
Guess what? There is a toddler version that would be out soon! It’s an abridged version specifically for toddlers. Click here to pre- order if you’re abroad. The Book also has an activity book packed with puzzles and games children can use! A very well thought out Book I must say! I also recommend Steph Williams Book on Prayer if you’re looking for something specifically for toddlers (Yes this is available in Nigeria)
The best part? The activity Book and the Book itself is available in Nigeria for N9,500 & N3,500 only! Limited copies available! Simply send me a DM to get a Copy.
