Try talking to God with a pencil, pen, marker, or box of crayons! Writing to God: Kids' Edition shows kids how their prayers: - Don't have to be perfect to reach God. - Don't have to use big or fancy words. - May tell a story using words or pictures. - Can be happy or sad. - May have misspelled and crossed-out words. (God understands when we make mistakes.) "Rachel Hackenberg has an amazing ability to transform the most ordinary elements in a child's life. She invites kids to be themselves but also to see their world through God's eyes.

" --Trish Heidebrecht, Christian Educator, Chippawa Presbyterian Church "Rachel Hackenberg's book introduces us to a practical method that should work for just about everyone. All that is needed is a simple writing tool, some paper, and the imagination that often comes from being a kid." -- Rev. Ricky Manalo, CSP, is a liturgical composer, author, and member of the Paulist Fathers Community.
