This is fantastic! I purchased this book mostly because of the cover (I know, don't judge a book...) This book has given me direction as a new parent on how to pray for my son. It takes different biblical characteristics ("loyalty", "humility", "patience", "love", etc.) and devotes a chapter to each one. The authors tell their own personal parenting stories, give prayers to pray, and questions you can ask/share with your child. This will be a great tool of communication for me and my son in the future. It also has places to journal your own prayers, thoughts, and stories (to share with your children as they get older?) I have also taken some lessons from this book for myself. This would make an excellent gift for new or "seasoned" parents! "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."~ Proverbs 22:6

This is a great prayer journal that you can use to chronicle the spiritual growth of your child. It's like a "baby book" for their spiritual lives. It makes a wonderful baby shower gift and will be priceless to your child when he is grown!

My husband and I received this book as a gift from some good friends upon the birth of our first daughter and we truly feel it is the greatest gift we received. There are a ton of different topics (e.g. Paticnce, Having good friends, Having a heart for missions, etc.) about which the authors write. There is scripture for each topic or attribute and quotes from different authors or thinkers on the topic. There is a prayer to pray for your child and a place to record that prayer in a journal form. There are also some great ideas on pursuing these things with your family. Each time we read a chapter and pray together we are deeply impacted. We have decided to give this book to everyone of our friends who has kids. It is a gift with eternal impact.
