“In Pray with Me, Erica’s precepts are pragmatic without being dogmatic. The book is written tenderly as a guide, filled with both biblical insight and kitchen table encouragement. While Pray with Me is written to teach children to pray, there is also plenty of insight to fuel the hearts of parents (and grandparents) as well.”
