The Prayer-Go-Round

Joey spent every day at recess on the merry-go-round, praying that God would send him a best friend. He was very blessed to live in a very loving Christian home, but he had a lonely ache inside his heart, always waiting for that special friend to come along. Then, one day, God answered his prayers.

Tommy and his family moved in next door to Joey and his family, and they immediately became best "buds." Unfortunately, Tommy wasn't as blessed as Joey; he lived in anything but a Christian home, with a house filled with fighting, drinking, yelling, and constant anger. Joey told Tommy that God had answered his prayer, so every day at recess, they went to the merry-go-round to pray for Tommy's family. As the other children watched them pray, slowly, others came and asked for prayer for things in their lives. It didn't matter to Joey and Tommy how big or little the request was, they would pray for it.

This book is filled with some great sadness and heartache, but if you want to feel the love of God and the joy He can give, along with His amazing miracles that come from prayer, then you need to read this book. I promise you will be blessed. It's not a book just for kids; it will touch the soul of anyone who reads it.
