Teach Your Children to Seek God

Children are at the center of our universe and their untainted souls help to keep adults grounded in truth with clear vision. However, we forget that children have questions that we can't always answer. It is during these times that children need an outlet, a special friend to talk things over with, and a forgiving voice of reason - they need to hear from God. Simmons does an extraordinary job at welcoming the hearts of children into her story. The issues discussed are pertinent to children today. Her heartfelt commentary is a pleasant relief to children storytelling. GOD, CAN YOU HEAR ME? should be part of every household library whether children are present or not. The lessons learned in the heart-warming text and colorfully illustrated pages provide motivation and inspiration to all. Reviewed by - Deltareviewer For Real Page Turners

WONDERFUL Book!!!!!

I LOVE this book "God Can You Hear Me?" It provides a way for children to understand how simple it is to talk to God! It also provides them with lots of real life scenarios in which children might need help and understanding. It's never too early to start talking to children about God especially in this day and age where so many events happen that cause even us adults to question "why?" and this is an excellent way to help children understand that God is someone who is always available to both help them and listen to all of their questions and feelings.

Beautiful Book to Teach Children About Prayer

We just received this book and I read it to my 4 yr old daughter. We loved it. It's a wonderful book that explains how we as parents can't always solve our children's problems and how children need a relationship with God early in life. An additional testimony: It is never too early to teach a child to pray. I realized this when my daughter's teacher taught the children to ask God to help them not be scared during a thunder storm. While we have always blessed our food and said prayers at bed time, now my husband, daughter, and I pray together every morning before leaving the house and sometimes she leads the prayer. There is nothing more touching than hearing a child pray. She usually thanks God for our family, all her friends, and her teacher, etc. (always mentioning specific names). I have to smile when she thanks God for candy and icecream and cheetos. This book will be a great resource as we continue to teach our daughter how to pray to God in thanksgiving and in times of need. The beautiful illustrations look like oil paintings. Especially beautiful are the illustrations of the author, Justine Simmons, with her family. My husband and I also really enjoy the show, Run's House, starring Justine Simmons, her husband, Joey (Rev. Run from the group Run DMC) and their children. It is a very funny show about a close-knit Christian family that happens to be famous.
