When I Pray for You Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Matthew Paul Turner (Author), Adenrele Ojo (Narrator), Listening Library (Publisher)
4.9 out of 5 stars 7,927 ratings

USA Today, Publishers Weekly, and Wall Street Journal best seller.

From the author of the best-selling When God Made You comes a new illuminating message about God's design affirming young listeners.

With lyricism, whimsy, and heartfelt emotion, Matthew Paul Turner reveals the tender emotions connected with watching a beloved child grow up and experience the world. When I Pray for You is a beautifully affirming audiobook in which children and parents will see their own stories come to life.

When I Pray for You celebrates the dreams, hopes, and longings parents pray over their children and shares with the little ones how much care and concern a loved one feels for them.

This is an audiobook you will listen to with your child again and again. Perfect for any occasion, as well as for milestones including baby showers, birthdays, and graduations.

From the moment I saw you,

I started to pray.

Big prayers and small ones

I have sent God's way.

I prayed you felt safe,

full of joy and content.

When I whispered "I love you",

you knew what I meant.

5 out of 5 stars
Great for kids and the family !
Great quality book and even greater message for your kids ! I bought this book originally when my daughter was born. Since I have bought it over and over as a gift. It’s a longer read so be ready for a good story time, but the message is very sweet and great for parents and kids to connect on a special level. I added a special message to my daughter on the inside cover that we could read before the book which makes it more special for her. Overall, It’s become one of our favorite family reads!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Book that Touches the Heart
    Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    Every line in this book is filled with words that I hope and pray for my own children but have never been able to put together so articulately. It hits a truly deep and special part of my heart. One that longs for each of my children to know that they are loved, capable, supported and full of so much worth.

    From the very first word my tears started to flow and they stayed and they worsened as the pages kept going. Looking over at my children as I choked through each phrase I saw two in tears because their Momma was so moved and one little one who kept asking, "Do you need a kiss?" What a sweet moment in time when they took on the role of comforting ME!

    Needless to say, this will be a very special book that will be brought out many times for years to come. I'm quite sure I'll cry every time I read it because time is a cruel, cruel thing and I see it flying by so quickly. Each time we read it together it will hold a new meaning to that moment we will be currently navigating.

    Beautiful job, Matthew Paul Turner. Thank you for following the Lord's leading and allowing Him to pen this beautiful story through you. It speaks volumes to many parents and on behalf of all of us, thank you for putting into words what we just couldn't do.

    I was looking for books for my daughter who's a couple months old. Bought this book based on the title it's self. It's a wonderful way to start teaching them to be thoughtful and how to love while praying for someone. It's kindness all around. The illustrations are well made and the colors are the right amount for the whole story vibe. I will keep reading this book to her, for years to come. I recommend this book.
