Childrens Orthodox Prayer Book by Priest Steven Allen

This beautifully illustrated Orthodox Christian prayer book offers young children aged 5-10 a gentle introduction to developing a daily prayer habit. The thoughtfully curated selection includes morning and evening prayers, mealtime blessings, and prayers for family and friends, all carefully chosen by priests and youth workers for their age-appropriate language and concepts. Young readers will discover psalms to pray alongside special prayers related to communion and confession, creating a comprehensive spiritual toolkit for their formative years. The 120-page volume serves as a complete guide to Orthodox Christian prayer life, making the rich traditions of the faith accessible to a child's understanding.

What distinguishes this prayer guide is its intentional design for children just beginning their spiritual journey, with illustrations that visually support the prayers and make them more engaging. The book's structure naturally guides families through the rhythms of the day and church year, providing both comfort and religious education through its sacred texts and Orthodox prayers. Parents seeking to establish a foundation of faith will find this an invaluable resource for bedtime rituals, quiet moments, and teaching the practice of talking to God. It transforms the abstract concept of prayer into tangible, daily moments of connection that will nurture a child's relationship with their Orthodox Christian heritage.
