Newly revised and updated edition. Over 75,000 copies sold! For nearly two decades, Lord, Bless My Child has provided an enduring power of prayer for families. With a template to guide parents in praying for the character of God to be developed in the lives of their children, this book offers 52 prayer concepts that fall in line with God's plan for each child. Included are scriptures, prayers, age-old quotes, and discussion questions for family interaction. There is also a place to journal the prayers-and later, how God has answered. When the child leaves home, many parents give this journal to their child as a gift so they can read the prayer journal entries, and see how God answered their parent's prayers over the years. This is a perfect gift for pastors to use at baby dedications or at baptisms and to give the new expecting mother. Grandparents and parents will enjoy sharing this book as they teach their family to pray. Prayer may indeed be a parent's most important work. May He bless you as you pray for your child!

The arrival of every new child is an opportunity for many in the community to celebrate. In Bless This Child, Unitarian Universalist minister Edward Searl has collected a wide range of poetry and prose for every occasion surrounding a new life: composing birth announcements, birthday cards, and notes to new mothers and fathers/ performing readings at birth ceremonies and naming rituals/ and honoring an adoption. An indispensable tool for well-wishers, this collection will also provide quiet spiritual sustenance to new and expecting parents. The selections are contemplative, contemporary, and spiritual but not overtly religious. They are drawn from ancient and modern sources from the famous to the obscure and from various cultures and faith traditions. Many works are previously uncollected. Includes passages from Lao Tzu, Charles Dickens, George Bernard Shaw, Nelson Mandela, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Erica Jong, among many others. Filled with wonder and hope, Bless This Child is the perfect gift -- a keepsake for expecting mothers and their partners, new parents, grandparents, clergy, and anyone who has a role in nurturing the sacred life of a new baby.
