OUTSTANDING! Get This Book!
Have you ever tried to explain to a child what praying is all about? Have you ever attempted to explain the importance of having daily conversations with the Lord, and come away knowing you didn't get through? It can be frustrating to say the least, but rejoice help is finally here in the outstanding book, What Happens When I Talk To God?, by author, Stormie Omartian.
In this book a child is taken into the world of relationships with their Creator in a colorful, down to earth, easy to understand manner. It is like a breath of fresh-air.

The storyline is based around the daily living of a child and in these situation Ms. Omartian weaves the many ways the child can interact with the Lord during them. For example, a baseball accidentally going through a window and the emotions the child is feeling, fear and sorrow. The story tells them how God is always ready to forgive us no matter what we do, if we will just go to Him and talk and ask for forgiveness. Through these situations they begin to understand that God longs to share their lives with them, in both good and bad times. They realize praying is freely talking with God, and not some scary thing Believers are required to do. The illustrations are priceless and truly bring the story to life with brilliant color and great facial features. I really enjoyed them.

I loved this book and would highly encourage every one who has a child in their life that they would like to see have more communication with the Lord. and more understanding of the importance of talking with Him, to purchase this book. This book is a real faith builder! A great fun learning experience and a must for every young believer, and I sincerely mean that. Exceptional!

Another great "add" to the series
Stormie Omartian is best known for her The Power of a Praying books. More than 10 million copies have been sold. The titles include The Power of a Praying Kid, The Power of a Praying Teen and The Power of a Praying Parent.

In What Happens When I Talk to God? Omartian takes her passion for prayer and shares the message that "It's never too early to teach a child to pray."

Aimed at ages 3-7, Omartian helps children understand the importance of prayer, what prayer is, why God wants them to pray, when they should pray and what they should pray about. Children learn that God loves them and that's why they should pray. And they can pray anytime and anywhere for anything. The book encourages children to be young `prayer warriors' and affirms a child's importance in God's eyes.

What Happens When I Talk to God is a book for adults to read with their children. The narrative may be a bit long for three-year-old children, but they'll absorb what their particular attention span allows.

The artwork, by Shari Warren is bright, colorful, inviting and attractive. The best part of the illustrations is the children themselves. They are from every race and as the mother and grandmother of a racially mixed family, I applaud this aspect of the book.

Armchair Interviews says: The Power of Prayer for Boys and Girls is enhanced with Stormie Omartian's book, What Happens When I Talk to God?

sweet, but didn't answer daughter's questions
My daughter has been asking why God doesn't talk back to her when she prays (age 3 1/2). This is a very complicated thing to explain to a child, and I hoped this book might help explain (literally) "What happens when [she] talks to God." It didn't help at all. It's a sweet book and she loves the illustrations, but as for the mechanics of prayer, it didn't help us. Still, I would recommend it because it really does address a lot of other issues (what to pray about, when to pray, etc.)
