Spiritually Enriching |

Someone gave us the 2nd book "The Costly Cookie Chronicles" (on the Rosary). I liked it so much I bought this 1st one. Chapters are short, following the same rhythm of Clare talking to Jesus in her own words, listening quietly, then talking some more. We don't hear Jesus, except through Clare's own ponderings. Dialogue is believable and age-appropriate but fits in a lot of great catechesis and spiritual wisdom. Chapters conclude with a relevant Bible verse. I’d pick the years immediately after a child's 1st Communion as the ideal age for this book, but it even speaks to me as an adult, so I'd recommend it for any age. Clare herself is about 9. She has a big faithful Catholic family and struggles to get along with her siblings and obey her parents. My son is an only child, but still gets much from the reflections. Could be incorporated into homeschooling or used as parent/child reflection at bedtime. Any way you use it, I'm sure it will enrich your prayer life as it enriched mine.
