A treasured combination of the much-loved My Very Own Bible and the companion prayer book My Very Own Book of Prayers. The Bible retells 37 great stories of the Bible and the prayers are packed full of words of reflection especially for young readers. The prayers are selected and written with care to reflect the world and the concerns of children aged 5-7. They comprise of a mixture of familiar, traditional material, new prayers and blessings and paraphrases of some Bible prayers. Carolyn Cox's lively and vibrant illustrations received widespread acclaim when they first appeared in The Lion Children's Bible and My Own Book of Bible Stories, and complement the prayers reflecting the mood and content of each subject. These have been refreshed for a new generation of young readers, appearing warm and brighter than ever. A perfect gift for a special occasion or to use for sharing with children or at bedtime.
