I'm sure you are familiar with the classic devotional book My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers. Now there is a bedtime prayer edition of the bestselling children's devotional for ages 3-7, Jesus Wants All of Me Prayer Edition. Adapted and illustrated by Phil A. Smouse, (who illustrated the Wanda Brunstetter books I'm giving away here), each day has a Bible verse, a simple devotional accompanied by a colorful picture, and a bedtime prayer. There's even a space for a young schoolchild (or the parent) to write the child's own words for Jesus.
And just like the "grown-up" version, a topical index in the back of the book identifies by date all the devotionals for each subject, such as "Doing Things My Way," "Fear", "Loving Others," "Obeying God," and "Selfishness." You can see sample pages on Phil Smouse's website.

I have a 5 yr old that would love this! Thanks for entering me to win.
I'd love to win this for my little girl. Thanks! :)
my daughter would love to read this-she is still learning her prayers so this would be a wonderful, fun tool to assist her.
This would be perfect for my little Bubbalu who is just about 2 and a half!
These giveaways are great! This one would be wonderful to have to share with Caleb.
God bless!
Believe it or not, I had not read My Utmost for His Highest until 1/1/09. I have made it a part of my daily devos and find myself reflecting back on it throughout the day and even days later. I would love to have a children's version for my youngest daughter (soon to be 6).
Thanks for the Mom's Day Giveaways!
