Matthew Paul Turner — Author of WHEN I PRAY FOR YOU
In his most profound and beautiful book yet, best-selling author Matthew Paul Turner has given parents fresh words to speak over their children during story time in When I Pray for You. With his trademark rhythmical style, Turner wonderfully reveals the tender feelings connected with watching a beloved child grow and experience the world. Prior to becoming a parent, Turner had no idea how often he would pray for his children or how prayer would so profoundly affect him. Now, as the parent of three young children, Turner says, “In many ways, praying is a bit like breathing: a consistent, conscious and subconscious longing of hope on behalf of my kids. Praying over them has been healing for me, redeeming, and it brings peace to my sometimes anxious heart. It’s my hope that this book will empower parents with good words to speak over their children.” When I Pray for You celebrates the dreams, hopes, and longings that parents pray over their children while sharing with little ones how much care and concern a loved one feels for them. Kimberly Barnes’ vivid and exuberant illustrations accentuate the story, providing a colorful landscape for the many prayers that surround a child from the moment they are born to the day they venture into the world. When I Pray For You will appeal to those from diverse faith backgrounds, including Christian, Jewish and Muslim beliefs. *Matthew Paul Turner has authored more than 20 books including the Amazon top 5 best-selling When God Made You and When God Made Light, both of which were ECPA bestsellers. He has written for publications including USA Today, The Washington Post, National Geographic, Relevant, Christianity Today, and The Daily Beast. His books have been featured in Christian Century, Kirkus Reviews, Read Aloud Revival podcast, Focus on the Family’s PluggedIn, and numerous other media outlets.
