Not Dumbed Down!

The Power of Prayer is colorful and creative and chock-full of Catholic Catechism! Much of the content closely mirrors the applicable sections of the Baltimore Catechism and is presented in a similar question and answer format. This could be a great alternative or supplement to the Baltimore Catechism for kids who are struggling or non-traditional learners. My neurodivergent kids really enjoy the solid catechesis combined with the Lego creations.

What’s Covered

This book covers a ton of prayer-related content! There’s the hows and whys and purposes of prayer Baltimore Catechism style. There’s also all the typically memorized Catholic prayers from the Sign of the Cross to the Angelus to the Act of Contrition. But that’s only the beginning! There’s Liturgical prayers from the Mass, Benediction, and Liturgy of the Hours. There’s also prayers for the Liturgical Seasons, the rosary, chaplets, and much more. I found some prayers that were new to me as I paged through!

What age?

I think this could be used with a wide variety of ages. It could be used for even young children as an eye-catching accompaniment to teaching basic prayers. It can be used for First Communion prep or as a gift. It could even be useful for Middle Schoolers who are still into Legos and would appreciate the intricate creations. Overall, this book is a wonderful resource to have on your shelf.
