I really enjoyed The Barber Who Wanted To Pray. Some of the things I liked about the book were the pictures and the story it told.
The Barber Who Wanted To Pray tells about a little girl, Delaney, who thinks that her prayers are weak. So, her dad tells her a story that his father had told him. In the story, there is a barber who felt the same way Delaney felt. Mr. Luther [the outlaw in the story] shares with the barber three different ways to pray. He tells the barber to use the Ten Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Apostles’ Creed as outlines when he prays. By doing this he will learn to pray the way God wants us to pray and he can keep his prayers exciting.
I think The Barber Who Wanted To Pray can teach kids a great lesson about learning to pray.
