Overview

Today’s families are busy. Every morning, parents and kids head out for a day full of school, work, sports, music lessons, church activities, and everything else. They return home, often tuning into television, computers, and phones—and tuning each other out. But what would happen if we, as families, pressed “pause” in the middle of packed schedules to gather and pray? Teresa Herbic believes anything can happen when families pray together.
Family Prayer Made Easy jump-starts your family prayer time with ten focused devotions. Together, your family can seek God in action-packed, Spirit-driven prayers for each other, for friends, for the community, and more. After prayer comes an optional faith-focused activity, such as writing cards for hospital patients or crafting a thanksgiving jar for the family.
Including Scriptures on prayer, classic children’s prayers, 100 more interactive ideas for bringing prayer into busy family life, and sample prayers for holidays and special occasions, this book will guide your family into powerful, consistent, loving prayer—with resources you’ll return to time and time again.  
 
“We all know that prayer changes things, and that when we pray together in unity, heaven hears and moves on our behalf. Teresa Herbic has done all of the legwork for us with her prayer guide in order that we might pray as families. I can’t think of anything more powerful or more important. This book will bless you and anchor your home. I highly recommend it.”
—Terry Meeuwsen, Co-host, 700 Club, Director, Orphan’s Promise
It was my privilege to be Teresa and her family’s pastor during many challenging times of adopting their children, praying for healing, and seeking wisdom as parents. We saw the hand of God and the faithfulness of Teresa’s prayer at work. You will be greatly inspired by the stories included here and the practical help that comes from someone who passionately practices and encourages authentic prayer.”
—Vernon Armitage, Pastor, Briarcliff Church, Teacher, Willow Creek Community Church, Co-author, Living Life to the Max
“Teresa’s love of her family and commitment to following God’s call unite beautifully in this powerful guide to growing closer to God with your family through prayer. Throughout her orphan advocacy work, Teresa has inspired others to be bold in their compassion and faith. It’s such a blessing that through Family Prayer Made Easy,Teresa is able to share these important principles with the world!”
—Hollen Frazier, President, All God’s Children International
“Wow! Teresa delivers a book that so many families can actually use to re-connect to God. In our fast-paced, busy world, even the most faithful may not make time to pause for prayer. Family Prayer Made Easy makes daily prayer a fun, family activity while keeping the faith. Teresa’s lifelong dedication to orphans—both children and animals—is unwavering, and she consistently finds ways to celebrate and nurture God in our everyday lives. That love and passion for God shines brightly in this guide. A wonderful resource to jump start daily prayer for all family members—parents and kids alike.”
—Karen L. Allanach, Communications manager, Faith Outreach & Engagement, The Humane Society of the United States
“Teresa Herbic loves the Lord, loves families, and loves children (particularly those in need of a ‘forever family’ through foster or adoptive placement). Her love shines through this book as she writes about new and creative ways to share the truth and good news of the gospel with those for whom she so deeply cares.”
—Dr. Robert C. Springate, Vice president, Missouri Baptist Children’s Home Foundation
“Families are forever. Teresa brings to life the ministry of family. In this insightful guide, she shares how together we build forever families.”
—Dave Coffman, Director, Adoption Resource Foundation
“Ephesians 6:18 encourages us to pray in the Spirit on all occasions. This book gives practical ways to do just that. Teresa has a passion for Christ and for families. She and her husband Galen have endured much to help others as they pursue God’s calling to build up the family unit. I pray readers imitate this as they learn from the dynamic words shared in this book.”
—Greg Blankenship, Lead pastor, Real Life Corpus, Corpus Christi, Texas
“Teresa Herbic and her family have been good friends over the years, and I know all of them to be praying people, as well as a praying family. They believe wholeheartedly in the power of prayer, and I have seen prayer work for them in their own lives. They have seen its results. I have no doubt that Teresa’s biblical ideas presented in this book will bring results in other families’ lives as well. She can be trusted to give good advice! I heartily endorse and recommend this book to you!”
—Emil Bartos, Pastor, Peace Lutheran Church, Hollister, Missouri
