With a book that kids will enjoy, you can lay the groundwork for a lifetime of prayer.

When learning to pray, young Catholics, like any new ability, require direction. Jesus and Me: Talking with My Greatest Friend gives youngsters a clear but adaptable framework for meaningful discussions with Our Lord—conversations that can lead to a lifelong connection with Jesus.

More than just a selection of prayers to say, Jesus and Me offers youngsters eighty prayer options that are pleasant, straightforward, and reassuring for learning how to pray. It explains how and why they should pray to their divine friend, Jesus.

This full-color, spiral-bound book, written by a Catholic mother and teacher, has been cleverly constructed so that youngsters would want to use it. It emphasises the four types of prayer—adoration, thankfulness, contrition, and petition—by including the following:

A unique color for each type of prayer
Options for praying in these four ways using a variety of styles and methods, such as Scripture, journaling, meditation, and drawing to appeal to all young minds
80 “Prayer Possibilities” offering ideas for talking and listening to Jesus
Child-friendly explanations and “Words to Know” for each type of prayer
Instructions for Eucharistic Adoration, the Rosary, and the Divine Mercy Chaplet

By providing children with the tools they need to communicate with Jesus, Jesus and Me transforms what may appear to be an overwhelming, dull, or perplexing experience into a supernatural companionship that will lead them throughout their lives.

Ages: 7 -10

PRAISE:

"A much needed book for today’s Catholic families. Jesus and Me is overflowing with creative ideas to help guide children into loving communication with our Savior. I highly recommend grabbing a copy and praying alongside your child. A beautiful relationship with Jesus is sure to emerge!"

"To encounter the One who loves us most is life changing, and to have that encounter at a young age is kingdom changing. What a beautiful resource for our young people to have to guide them through that encounter with Jesus in Adoration. I personally have had the privilege of witnessing Melissa guide my own children through a holy hour for children, and her heart while living out the calling over her life is so authentic, tender, and truly just seeking to bring people closer to the heart of the Father. Her very heart is all over this book, authentically and tenderly guiding the reader into a deep encounter with Jesus Christ, fully present in the Eucharist, in a very tangible and accessible way."

"'I don’t know what to do' is the common worry of many children when given the opportunity for Adoration. Jesus and Me provides young people with a practical means to overcome that hurdle and gives them confidence to speak candidly with God. The book is full of wisdom and inspiring quotations that encourage children to make building a relationship with Jesus a joy-filled priority."
