This book, “The Lord’s Prayer: Words of Hope and Happiness”
by Rick Warren and illustrated by Richard Jesse Watson, exudes an aura of
gentleness. The cover features a girl,
head bowed, feeding birds seeds from her hands.
The hardcover book opens to a dozen two-page spreads with
large, detailed illustrations accompanied by a verse of The Lord’s Prayer. On
the right-hand side of the page is Warren’s commentary of the Prayer. The
commentary can be easily understood by children, and under the child-friendly
commentaries is a short prayer of thanks to God.
The book offers options for readers. Parents and children
can enjoy only the Prayer and pictures or they can indulge in the commentaries
too. The commentaries could easily spark conversation and spiritual discussion
with older children.
The illustrations are beautiful. What I especially
appreciate about them is that they include children of varying nationalities.
The book concludes with The Lord’s Prayer written in its
entirety.
The publisher has provided me with a
complimentary copy of this book through BookSneeze®. I was not required to
write a positive review.
