Always, Always, Always is a story of unconditional, parental love. The beautiful illustrations along with a sweet, poetic conversation between parent and child creates a special love story to share with your baby. No matter what each day brings, no matter what the sky will show, their love remains the same through the ever-changing seasons of life.
When children have something on their minds, they tend to run to their parents and caregivers. Wouldn't it be great if they also learned that they can talk to God about anything and everything because Jesus has made that possible?
This beautifully illustrated Bible storybook, by Risen Motherhood co-founder Laura Wifler, takes children on a journey from the start of the Bible story to the end. From Eden and God's presence, through the fall, redemption, and the Spirit's presence with us now, to our presence with God in the future, God has always made a way for his people to talk with him. Children will learn a biblical understanding of prayer, why it's amazing, and that they can enjoy talking with God about anything, anytime, anywhere.
Includes Jesus' teaching on the Lord's Prayer to help children know how to pray.
A New York Times bestseller!
