Book Description:
“One prayer can change everything.”

Would God send the rains and save the people?

My Review:
One aspect I want to teach my children and the children in my church is the power of their prayers. This book is a great introduction to the power of prayer.
I like how the story starts out by the towns people only trusting the prayers of this one person but by the end of the story people realized their prayers will be heard and answered too.
The message is fantastic and the artwork is amazing. I love the bright and bold colors from the sun and rain on each page.
Thanks Zondervan and author Mark Batterson and illustrator Antonio Javier Caparo for creating a spectacular book with a meaningful message for our kids. The new challenge for parents is to start to model a good prayer life.
I will leave you wondering why circles are a part of the title and story. This story will be available August 6th, 2013 and retails for $15.99 for hard cover.
