About the book: (from the book)
IN THE FOREWORD written by Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, appears the following quotation from the Bible: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old he will not depart from it. “Believing in the spirit of this message, Dale Evans has compiled this first prayer book for children. Here are more than forty prayers. Some, like the Lord’s Prayer, are from the Bible; eight have been written by Dale Evans. In this collection children will find also prayers of thanks giving, psalms, benedictions, graces, evening and morning prayers, Easter prayers, and even a birthday prayer. Selections include works by some of the world’s greatest poets and clergymen, such as Christina Rossetti, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Alexander Pope, Phillips Brooks, Charles Wesley and Martin Luther. Illustrated in color with a variety of Western scenes, this picture book of prayers makes the perfect devotional gift for a favorite child.
