Ebook
Overview
How much do your children know? We teach our children academics. We give them instruction in the arts and physical fitness. We show them how to swim, skate, and ride a bike. But have we forgotten the most basic and necessary skill of all? Have we taught them to pray? Prayer is the foundation for communicating with God, growing as a person, and receiving help and wisdom for every other part of life.

-Dr. Tony Evans, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship
Rick Osborne’s passion to equip parents to effectively minister to their children is clearly seen in the many excellent resources he and his wife and colleagues have developed. But more importantly, Rick writes and teaches what he lives. I heartily recommend Rick’s resources to every parent. Rick is one of God’s gifts to parents.
-Josh D. McDowell, Campus Crusade for Christ
When Jesus’ disciples saw Him praying, they came and asked “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1). Our children, much like the disciples, will want to learn to pray when they see us occupied in fervent communication with the living God. I’m happy to recommend this book by Rick Osborne, who is able to communicate this message to parents and guide them in teaching their children to pray.
-Larry Burkett, Christian Financial Concepts
What a great approach to teaching children how to pray. This is not just another boring “how to” book. In Teaching Your Child How to Pray, Rick Osborne makes this important venture challenging and exciting for both parents and their children.
