In A Prayer for Our Country, US Senate Chaplain Barry Black leads children in thanking God for America, while also exploring the ways we can model God’s love to support our country’s citizens, heal hurts that divide us, and look to a stronger, united future.

Senate Chaplain Barry Black believes words matter and that healing and unity are possible in America if we see the image of God in others. In this prayer for children based on wisdom from his almost two decades of daily praying over the US Senate, Black offers needed and inspiring text to help the next generation grow stronger in faith and forward America’s dream.

Kim Holt was born in Brooklyn, NY. Her passion for art and drawing started at an early age, fueled by her family's love for the arts. Living directly across from the Brooklyn Museum was a blessing and an inspiration that greatly influenced her artistic path. At the age of nine, Kim began spending countless Saturdays walking the halls of the museum and taking in exhibits, including a memorable visit in 1975 to see Egyptian art, including King Tut's Tomb. After moving to the D.C. Metro area during her teenage years, she received her BBA in marketing from Howard University and her BFA in animation from the Academy of Art University. Her goal as an artist is to create images that bring back memories and create pictures that make children wish they were inside the scenes. Kim's style is full of color and emotion. She continues to reside in the D.C. area with her husband and two dogs, Sugar and Spice, where she drinks copious amounts of coffee and cooks up imaginative dinners for her family.

Reviews for A Prayer for Our Country: Words to Unite and Inspire Hope

'Oh, my goodness! I love this book. A Prayer for Our Country: Words to Ignite and Inspire Hope is a gorgeous, heartwarming, all-encompassing prayer to our Lord. It thanks Him for our daily provisions, for always being with us, and for His magnificent love. It asks Him for guidance, knowledge, and understanding. It's a lovely, sincere, and tender prayer that would do us good to say each day. I love how inclusive this book is, illustrating people with diverse ethnicities, abilities, ages, and such. We are all God's children and are blessed so much. This prayer book expresses thankfulness and embraces togetherness. We may not know what others may be going through, but God knows, and by praying for others we are uniting the country and strengthening its future. The full-page illustrations are detailed, lively, and beautiful, and the essence of this prayer book warms my soul.' * Cover Lover Book Review * 2022 Northern Lights Book Award Winner, Religious/Spiritual Category * Northern Lights Book Awards *
