Writing to God: Kids' Edition

By Rachel G. Hackenberg

Try talking to God with a pencil, pen, marker, or box of crayons!
Writing to God: Kids' Edition shows kids how their prayers:
- Don't have to be perfect to reach God.
- Don't have to use big or fancy words.
- May tell a story using words or pictures.
- Can be happy or sad.
- May have misspelled and crossed-out words. (God understands when we make mistakes.)

"Rachel Hackenberg has an amazing ability to transform the most ordinary elements in a child's life. She invites kids to be themselves but also to see their world through God's eyes." --Trish Heidebrecht, Christian Educator, Chippawa Presbyterian Church

"Rachel Hackenberg's book introduces us to a practical method that should work for just about everyone. All that is needed is a simple writing tool, some paper, and the imagination that often comes from being a kid." -- Rev. Ricky Manalo, CSP, is a liturgical composer, author, and member of the Paulist Fathers Community.
