Prayers for Your Children

 

Prayers for Your Children

James’ latest book went into it’s second printing (due to demand) before it was even released, and we’re thrilled.  What greater gift can you give your child the faithful prayer on his or her behalf? Many parents believe in the power of prayer over their children – but their lives are so full that finding time for prayer can be a challenge.

Inside Prayers for Your Children,  parents find the help they need with scripture-packed prayers that cover children through every season of life. These powerful, encouraging prayers help you speak God’s promises back to Him — and will inspire you to pray all the more.  90 prayers, combined with true stories of God’s power to transform lives in answer to prayer.  These ready-to-pray-prayers address such important needs as knowing Christ as Savior, growing in relationship with God and others, experiencing God’s protection and direction for life, walking in purity and love, and living with hope and faith for a lifetime.

Partner with God through prayer, and speak life-changing blessing over your child both now and for eternity!

James Banks

James Banks is a best-selling author and speaker best known for his work helping others learn how to pray. He and his wife Cari have been married over 28 years and have two adult children. They make their home in Durham, North Carolina, where James serves as a pastor, church-planter and part-time seminary professor.  James is also the author of several magazine articles on prayer and outreach and is a regular guest on radio and television.

James grew up in the San Diego area.  He started writing in elementary school when his 4th grade teacher heard him making up poetry spontaneously and gave him topics to write about (probably to make him sit still). His senior year in high school James was the California State Champion in Informative Speaking; his senior year in college he ranked among the top four speakers in the U.S.A. in the same event.  Today, in addition to writing and speaking, James enjoys college basketball, making his own diesel fuel (just ask him), beekeeping, fencing, gardening, and spending time under the hood of his 1964 Plymouth. James also loves church history, forgotten hymns and languages (after high school he was a foreign exchange student in Germany). He is fluent in both German and Spanish.

James is a graduate of Westmont College (B.A.), Princeton Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity), and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (Doctor of Ministry, emphasis in Church History). He is ordained in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC), a growing, Christ-centered group of believers.

James loves to help others draw near to God through prayer. Over 25 years in pastoral ministry and his experience as a parent enable him to speak from the heart about challenges many face and God’s amazing power to answer prayer. He is available for speaking events, seminars and retreats. For more information and clips from recent media appearances, please visit the Events/Media page of this website.
