    About this ebook

    This booklet offers daily prayer for use with the Advent Wreath at mealtime, in a large font, that is concise, relevant, and to the point without giving up the purpose of the prayers. Children will be able to do the reading, focus on the concept for the week due to the repetition of the basic prayer, while keeping peace at mealtime due to the brevity of the devotions.

    Author

    Jeanne Preski

    As a working mother of three children, Jeanne Preski found it challenging to instill Catholic traditions and prayer, as well as run the family smoothly, especially at dinner time. The traditional Advent Wreath devotionals had exceptionally long Bible passages, prayers that were too long, and unrelated to the children. This devotional offers weekly repetitive prayer presented in larger print with basic concepts that are easier for younger children to read. The repetition of the weekly prayers focuses on the need for children to hear a message over and over for knowledge. As a mother of active children, she found it constantly challenging for a teaching moment, as well as keep everyone on schedule. Jeanne Preski is a Speech Language Pathologist and lives in Rhode Island. She enjoys reading and traveling with her 4 girlfriends. Please contact her through Author House.
