Every grandmother needs this book! It is packed with insightful stories, cogent examples, suggestions that are doable, and so much more. In a little book is considerable wisdom and sage advice. The short, powerful chapters begin with a quote from the Bible and then a quote that brings the whole chapter into focus. Peppered throughout the chapter are verses and clarifications which enhance and enrich the material thereby increasing comprehension and usage of the information. Closing each chapter is a prayer, helpful Scriptures, a Scripture prayer, and related Scripture references. What I especially found helpful were the suggestions for grandmothers both near and far to their grandchildren. Some suggestions were eating lunch or meeting the classroom teacher to tell him or her they are being prayed for each day. Another asset to the book is how it addresses compassionately the issues of adoption, special needs, and abuse. Again, with powerful testimonies and Scripture the reader is calmed, guided, and comforted concerning their special child. Unusual in a book such as this is its appendix which provides such things a baby dedication ceremony and a sample journal page. The suggested reading pages have great books. This book is also available in Spanish. Be sure to get a copy soon and begin to truly bless your grandchildren.
Grandmas, your grandchildren need you! This book will guide you in your important role as you pray for your grandchildren. If you've ever worried about, hurt for or just wanted to bless your precious grandchildren, this book will show you how important your role as a praying grandparent is. No matter how near or far you live from them, you will learn practical ways to be a close and important part of your grandchildren's lives.
The Lord used this book to bless me at a time when I least expected it. I purchased this book because I thought it is something that I could use in the distant future. The book arrived one day, and the next day... I recieved a called stating that I was a grandmother, and the child was 22 months old. This book was right on time in teaching me what to pray for my new grandaughter. The book arrived when I needed it the most, and helped open a lot of doors that had been closed with the estranged mother. My grandaughter is the hightlight of my life. I learned alot from this book. It reminds one to carry on the legacy.B.Wise
A lovely way to pray for our grandchildren... So often this little book offers grandmother every-day help in praying for grandchildren. My grandbabies live far from me, so I depend on prayer for them. If you have a few hours one day, use this book to pray several of them in one sitting. A good gift to give, also.
I have bought 3 of these now for gifts for new grandmothers after reading it myself. The balanced approach to grandmothering is refreshing and the honest Biblical content gives guidance in handling different concerns between grandmothers, parents and grandchildren.
This is the second book I've bought under this title. It's an amazing book for helping grandparents to pray Roy thier grandchildren! It also gives you a whole new look in how to go the step beyond protecting them ...you can also use it for your children ....ve been praying scriptures for along time for my family but in this book it shows you more scriptures to use. It gives you the peace you need for knowing that the prayers you r praying are indeed working. The results are amazing when you leave your children in His hands through scriptures. How perfect is doing what the Lord has told us to do...pray! You will love this book Grandmothers or Grandfathers without a doubt! Knowing that you are protecting, guiding, overcoming, & so on for your grandchildren
I gave this to my mother-in-law for a gift. She liked it so much she bought more and gave them to her close friends. She told me she loves that the book covers so many different grandkid ages and situations.
Best book on praying for your grandchildren that I have ever read. Lots of wonderful examples of prayers and answered prayers that will give you hope when things seem hopeless! I highly recommend this book!
