Baylor University graduate Will Davis Jr. has released another of his “Pray Big” series. In Pray Big for Your Child, the author urges parents to pray boldly, specifically and consistently for their children.
The founding pastor of Austin Christian Fellowship contends that moms and dads should engage in “pinpoint praying” rather than “no-point praying.” He defines pinpoint prayers as those that have “clear purpose, direction and focus.” On the other hand, he characterizes no-point prayers as “too broad,” “too safe” or “too vague.”
In a series of sequential chapters, Davis moves the parent from foundational praying through specific praying for sons and daughters to praying for the child’s mission in life.
The father of three laces modern illustrations with Bible stories and ties them together with prayer promises and verses to pray. He even answers tough questions such as, “Should you pray for your child to hit a homerun or ace a test?” Pray Big for Your Child would be a great gift for any parent (or grandparent). The appendix, which includes a month of prayers and a plan for praying through the day, is alone worth the price of the book.
