Kids Pray The Darndest Things!
Children say the most magical, wonderful things! This book of prayers, written by Fr. Joe Kempf and his furry friend, Big Al, is written the way children talk – and the way they think!

My Sister Is Annoying is a beautifully illustrated, fun way for children to talk to God about things that are important to them, such as trouble with siblings, the gift it is to have a grandparent, and trying to figure out the right thing to do. This gorgeous, hardcover book of prayers for children also includes a CD recording of children reading the prayers (with an introduction by Big Al & Fr. Joe).

My Sister Is Annoying will help children – and their parents – to pray the way Jesus taught us to pray… simply and from the heart.

48-page hardcover book – 8X8

As people of faith we are invited to believe in the wonderful goodness of God. How, then, are we to understand the struggles and sufferings of so many of God’s people? In this wise – and delightful – book, Fr. Joe offers a needed perspective on some of life’s more troubling questions: Where is God to be found in the midst of a world filled for so many with loss and suffering? What is our hope when facing the death of a loved one? What can we expect of ourselves – or others – when we are grieving? What difference does it make to pray? How do we talk to children about these things?

Using story, demonstration and the wisdom of his lived experience, Fr. Joe offers a loving perspective, and some simple, down to earth suggestions for all who face the beauty and challenges of life.
