As a Christian parent, what you pray for most is that your children will come to know and love Jesus Christ. If you knew of a simple method that increased the chances of your child following Christ, would you be interested?
This method involves no drudgery. No boring lectures. No arguing or complaining. It is as simple as saying a prayer before meals.
How will saying a grace before meals make any difference?
Consider this: "...the religious background variable that best predicts current religiosity [as an adult] is not the church attendance of parents, nor Sunday School attendance, nor childhood church membership. It is whether or not one's family usually said grace or thanks to God before meals at home." (From What Can We Do About Church Dropouts? by C. Kirk Hadaway)
Unending Grace is a family-oriented book that will get everyone in the habit of thanking God every day, not only for their food but also for their life, family, God's love, the wonders of creation, and every gift God gives. And families will love the variety of these short but beautiful prayers.
When you say the same grace each night it can get boring and can become a meaningless habit. Reading a different prayer each night will turn "grace" from an obligatory ritual into giving true thanks for God's blessings.
This collection of over 366 table graces includes prayers for special occasions and holidays. Most of the graces are only three or four lines. Several are original paraphrases of psalms, or based on other Scripture verses. All of these graces are easily understood by young children, so they are perfect for parents who are searching for simple yet effective ways to instill in their children a faith in God and a love for others.
These prayers go beyond giving thanks to God, inspiring the pray-ers to reach out to neighbors in need, and awakening an awareness of taking proper care of the natural world around them.
Filled with Scripture references and written in simple language children can understand, this is a book to be used every day as a daily reminder of God's unending grace.
