Deep Breath, Little Whisper: Praying Every Little Word Your Heart Wants to Say [Hardcover]

A wonderfully calming resource, with tremendous read-aloud potential, that encourages readers in any moment of life to pause, take a deep breath, and whisper a little word to a big God who hears.I can think of nothing more urgent than teaching the next generation not just that they should pray, but also how to do it. This beautiful book is a fun, understandable way to show children a practice they can carry throughout their lives and right into eternity.In Deep Breath, Little Whisper, Scott James teaches children a foundational truth: prayer is simply talking to God. With gentle clarity, James demystifies prayer and provides plenty of relatable examples, helping children understand that they can talk to God anytime and anywhere--a foundational truth for nurturing a growing relationship with God.It's so easy to overcomplicate prayer. This exhale of a book invites children (and the grown-ups who love them) into the simple, sacred rhythm of breath prayer. As someone who often turns to this practice in the comings and goings of the day, I've long hoped for a breath prayer resource to share with families of young children--and this is it. What a needed reminder that the One who gives us breath is always with us, every moment of every day.Scott James has a profound gift for simple and faithful stories and for sharing those few words we need at the right time. His new book is that and it's about that. It's about giving children (and us all) permission and promptings to pray in every situation. The older I get, the more I long for a faithful script, and am grateful for the written prayers of faithful saints gone before. This book is that in its simplest, most kid-friendly form. I love Deep Breath, Little Whisper and your family will too. It is not just good and true, it is beautiful. It is not just useful, it is evocative and inspiring.What a joy to read this book to my family! I love the way Scott James teaches kids they can talk to God. The beautiful illustrations accompalCÔ
