I Love You To God And Back

I Love You To God And Back by Amanda Lamb

This book is about a mother and her 6 year old daughter.  Together they set a goal to record their nightly prayers for 100 prayers.  What begins as short, struggling, impatient prayers, both mother and daughter soon find that they enjoy this time spent together.  

As with any new goal, or habit, things are difficult and you struggle to keep doing it at first.  After you have started, you wonder what you did before.  This is the same in this book with the prayers.  

The mother is a full time working mom, and the daughter a social and busy 6 year old.  Despite interruptions from a sibling, and the tiredness of the day, this pair find a way to meet their goal.  

They begin with recording the prayers, and later mom turns them into a book.  What a precious gift to give your child.  1) a prayer journal, and 2) time spent with your child.

Through out this book, the little girl, Chloe has lots to pray for.  Sometimes the prayer time is silly, sometimes serious.  Through some patience and a new found appreciation for what God is showing her through Chloe, this mother shares her insights on the prayers, and what she is learning through this experience.  

I thought this was a good read.  It certainly shares that prayers don't have to be well versed, or even lengthy, but rather from the heart.  

Thanks to Thomas Nelson for providing a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
