I was hoping that this book would open up a good conversation with my 7, 5 and 4 year old about "what happens when I talk to God," because it was written by Stormie Omartian who wrote all those prayer books! I was severely disappointed because it simply reiterates lessons on HOW to pray, but it does NOT say what happens when a little person talks to God honestly and maybe not the "right way" or for the "right things."
It tells what we can pray for and how we can pray and when and where we can pray; it tells us at the end of most pages to be thankful for something that was described on that page. The only page that begins to address "What Happens When I Talk to God?" in my opinion, is page 30, the second to last one, which talks about God hearing and answering and dwells on "me" being patient for those answers.
I suppose I was hoping for a book that was more illustrative of how God has worked through people’s prayers, through the prayers of children, not just a book that goes over practical biblical application. I know I would have liked to have heard how Stormie would talk to a child about the transformative power of prayer in the soul of the pray-er, or how we even know that God is there listening to us and isn’t just some made up thing (which are the good questions my kids are asking), but that wasn’t touched on. It didn’t specifically talk about what the "power" of prayer was, though it did state that "praying with other people is very powerful" and "my prayers have power because I am valuable to God."
Prayer is an intangible kind of thing. I don’t have a problem telling my kids HOW or WHY we pray.
