FOR THE LOVE OF CHILDREN
$3
Every child deserves to know they are loved, valued, protected, and never alone.
For the Love of Children: Poems & Prayers for Every Little Heart is a heartfelt Christian collection of poetry, prayers, blessings, and reflections celebrating the precious gift of children and the responsibility we have to guide them with faith, compassion, wisdom, and love.
Within these pages are words for the beautiful everyday moments of childhood—the muddy shoes, bedtime prayers, school mornings, laughter, questions, grandparents' hugs, and little hands that grow far too quickly.
But childhood is not always easy.
This collection also speaks gently to the harder moments children and families may face, including bullying, loneliness, fear, illness, grief, foster care, adoption, changing families, military life, adolescence, and learning to let our children grow.
Rather than repeating the same prayer, each section approaches faith differently. Some prayers ask God for wisdom. Others offer gratitude, comfort, encouragement, or hope. Some challenge parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers to become the trustworthy adults children need. There are even simple prayers children can pray themselves.
At the heart of the book is one simple Christian truth: Jesus made room for children, and so should we.
Perfect for parents, grandparents, teachers, caregivers, foster and adoptive families, or anyone who carries a child's name in their heart, For the Love of Children is a meaningful book to read quietly, share with family, give as a gift, or return to whenever you need words for a child you love.
Children eventually outgrow our laps.
They grow out of tiny shoes.
They leave classrooms, childhood bedrooms, and eventually our homes.
But they never have to outgrow our prayers.
May every child someday be able to say:
Someone listened to me.
Someone believed in me.
Someone protected me.
Someone taught me about Jesus.
Someone loved me enough to pray for me.
