Overview
This beautifully illustrated collection of prayers includes words for all through the year. The prayers in this book not only match the seasons: they speak in turn of hopefulness, joy, thanksgiving, reflection, and of God's everlasting love. Themes include: Springtime (beginnings, choosing the right path, hope); Summer (praise for creation, journeys, holidays); Autumn (harvest, thanksgiving, reflection); Winter (sad times, partings, prayer); Christmas (heaven on earth); and Easter (resurrection, eternity, heaven). Elena Temporin's warm illustrations give this collection a friendly quality.
