The Teenage Prayer Experiment Notebook

by Miranda Threlfall-Holmes

Overview

Alexa Tewkesbury offers a timeless retelling of the Easter story in this delightful picture book for 3-5 year olds. Spanning events from Palm Sunday through to the last supper, crucifixion and resurrection, The Story of Easter is the perfect way to introduce kids to the Bible story that lies at the heart of the Christian faith.

Bright, colourful illustrations from Dani Padron bring the book to life, and kids will love spotting the many different animals that are dotted on every page. The clear, simple text is ideal for young kids just starting to read and for adults to read aloud.

Editorial Reviews

It’s really captured the imaginations of my young people

From the Publisher

Produced by a mother-and-son team (Noah is aged 13), this is a different attempt to engage with younger people and encourage them to learn about prayer, using innovative and contemporary culture to hold their attention.
Centring around a blog produced by mum (a vicar in the Diocese of Durham and author), each chapter presents a 'prayer practice' offering diverse activities to encourage prayer including Lego Bible modelling, building a Minecraft church and prayer walking. Whilst written from an Anglican perspective, there are useful tips and suggestions for anyone seeking to engage with children and young people and seeking to encourage them to discover prayer or a deeper spirituality.
