Read in just under two hours with a little note taking. Such great language and ideas for introducing and continuing prayer with children! Written for kids, but a great read for parents and kids team leaders.' Good Reads review #11088;⭐⭐⭐⭐ ' This is genuinely one of the best books I've ever read. Pure gold! ' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ' Having enjoyed Pete Greig's teaching on prayer (and Gemma Hunt's presenting of Swashbuckle ;)), I can't quite put into words how excited I was when I heard this book was going to be released. When it arrived, it didn't disappoint! Aimed at 8-11s, I actually ended up reading it to my 7yo twins, who lapped it up. But I'm planning to read it to my 13yo and 11yo too, because it feels entirely suitable to use up to early teens. Using the P.R.A.Y. acronym (Pause Rejoice Ask Yes) found in the adult 'How to Pray' book (and associated Prayer Course), this book is helpfully structured in bite-size chunks featuring Pete's teaching, Gemma's experience, inspirational stories, prayer quotes from kids and (my son's favourite) practical prayer activities. A brilliant book to make prayer accessible, relevant and regular in our kids' lives.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

But when his father goes missing after a mysterious train crash in London, Everett and his little sister Bea are left with nothing but questions and a briefcase with a curious old pen. They soon discover that the pen is far from ordinary - in the right hands, its magical Ink can be used to create anything imaginable. But the Ink has dangerous enemies called Blotters, and soon Everett and Bea are running for their lives. Aided by Inklings, secret protectors of the Ink, Everett and Bea embark on a perilous quest across England and Scotland to track down a lost Inkwell that may be tied to their father's disappearance.

As you explore the Christian faith, you will soon encounter some challenging words: Trinity, Sacrament, Reconciliation, Sin, Incarnation, even the word 'Christ' itself. It isn't Jesus's surname! It is a title with a meaning and history.Sooner, or later, these words, and the ideas behind them, must be addressed and understood. It is simply not possible to be a Christian without understanding sin and forgiveness, knowing what a sacrament is, or accepting Jesus as the Christ.This book is here to help. It explores and explains many of the key concepts and ideas that underpin the Christian faith."I had assumed that someone else had already written a book like this. It seemed such an obvious thing to do. But while I could find weighty tomes on the topics explored here, I couldn't find a book which covered all these things in ways that were accessible, comprehensive and friendly: a simple book about complex things, one which just about anyone could read and find helpful. So, I wrote one." - Archbishop Stephen Cottrell
