Recommended to Christian parents

In My 60 Seconds, Deborah Knapp offers effective guidelines for helping Christian children learn how to pray and appreciate God in short spans of time. Designed especially to help young ones take advantage of the 60-second "moment of silence" often granted them in public schools, My 60 Seconds features 180 individual pages, each numbered for a day of the school year, and each featuring a spiritual quote from the Bible, the beginning of a prayer, and lines upon which a child has the option to finish writing the prayer. For example, day 40 offers the quote "We have freedom now because Christ made us free." (Galatians 5:1), and the unfinished prayer "Dear God, I do thank you for the freedom you have given me. I want everyone to have this freedom. Today, Lord, please bless..." followed by blank lines, followed by "In Jesus' name I pray. Amen." My 60 Seconds is recommended to Christian parents as an excellent spiritual and timely resource for their children having to maintain their religious values within a secular school system.

"God in 60 Seconds" - Newsweek (Oct 6th issue)

I'm glad prayer has returned to the classroom. We had prayer in the classroom when I attended public school. My 60 Seconds is a wonderfully simple little book for our children. One of my favorite scriptures in the book is Day 104, 'Do not let anyone treat you as if you were unimportant, Titus 2:15'. The book offers children (and adults) an opportunity to praise and thank God for all His blessings and wonders. My children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will be receiving copies of this little book for years to come.
