Godparents have promised to help the spiritual development of their godchildren. Both with their presence and with their prayer, they transmit the Catholic faith.
Conceived as a very personal letter to the author's godchild, renowned author Phyllis Zagano writes a marvelous introduction to prayer in the Catholic tradition. In this book the author presents God as "the one you turn to where otherwise you might be too humiliated or too fearful to turn to anyone else. ... The one you know as your Creator, your Redeemer, your Sanctifier, loves you as his own."
The author also discusses prayers of adoration, contrition, petition, thanksgiving, contemplation, Lectio Divina, Prayer of the Hours, and more. The book is well suited for teens and adults.
