Read excerpt Download excerpt

Walk in Peace reflects the wish of parents around the globe as they send their little ones off to school, to play, to do chores, to encounter an unfamiliar world. Moms and Dads assure their children of God’s love and protection, reminding them to Walk in Peace. In her follow-up to the well-received Sleep in Peace, Ingrid Hess combines her unique and warm-hearted illustrations with a touching book-length poem that voices a prayer for children everywhere: God watches them as they venture into the world. For pre-schoolers.

"Walk in Peace is a beautifully illustrated child's verse prayer book, every page of text ending with 'God loves you, sweet child. Walk in peace.' Colorful paintings portray children of many different lands and nationalities engaged in tasks, daily exercises, or fun and play. Each child is presented with grace and care, a perfect child of God. Walk in Peace is a lovely bedtime book to read to young children, leaving a gentle soothing feeling of being valued, loved and cared for by the highest power."
