Reviews
As our children grow, so do many of our concerns. Kathleen Nielson's beautifully written book, Prayers of a Parent: For Young Adults is a wonderful guide to help parents pray for a variety of needs. While young adults may leave our homes, they never leave our hearts. These daily prayers will bless them wherever they may go.--Melissa Kruger, Director of Women's Initiatives, The Gospel Coalition We love how these beautiful, biblical prayers help us to pray most earnestly (1 Thessalonians 3:10), pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17), and to pray specifically for our own young adult children. Furthermore, pastors should encourage every member to pray for the children of the church, and assist them in doing so. This book would be a huge help to that end, for often people are willing to pray but do not know what to pray for (Romans 8:26). For those in congregations that take this vows like Do you as a congregation undertake the responsibility of assisting the parents in the Christian nurture of this child? - we can't imagine a better or more important way of fulfilling that vow than praying for those children, from their youth to age.--Anne and Ligon Duncan, Wife, Mother, Christian Educator; Chancellor and CEO, Reformed Theological Seminary
