TJ the squirrel thinks prayer is like magic—just say “In Jesus’ name” and get whatever you want! But when his forest-sized wish list doesn’t come true, TJ begins a journey to discover what prayer really means. In Jesus’ Name I Pray is a heartwarming tale that teaches children the biblical purpose of prayer: seeking God’s will, not just our wants. With playful storytelling and vibrant illustrations, this book helps kids learn that true prayer is about trust, obedience, and a relationship with Jesus.
