As they grow, kids ask bigger, more complex spiritual questions, and they need guides to help them explore their budding faith lives. Frustratingly, many of us lack the confidence or skills to talk to kids about prayer. We need resources to help us help them pray, in their own words and on their terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003ePraying Their Way\u003c\/em\u003e, seminary professor, pastor, and dad Roger Owens partners with his 14-year-old daughter Mary Clare to offer a unique guidebook for introducing kids to a lifelong journey with prayer. Filled with an abundance of tools to engage kids between the ages of 10-14 on the topic of prayer, this book provides support for that awkward time as kids grow from young children into teenagers and their faith grows and evolves too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this new resource for adults and the \"tweens\" they care for, you'll discover a new vocabulary for talking about prayer, specific prompts for conversation, and two dozen prayer practices in six different categories (scripture, silence, body, nature, together, and justice) to explore with kids in grades 5-8. \u003cem\u003ePraying Their Way\u003c\/em\u003e is easily adaptable for younger kids and kids through 9th grade, as well as the spiritual-but-not-religious audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for parents, grandparents, godparents, pastors, children's ministers, and Sunday school teachers, \u003cem\u003ePraying Their Way\u003c\/em\u003e is the book we have all been longing for. With Roger and Mary Clare as your wise guides, you will embark on a joyful journey of discovery and holy connection with the kids you love. And, as you share these practices with these young people, you may find that your own relationship with God is deepened and enriched as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOwens, L.
