Format:Hardcover
Sarah McElwain has gathered together an eclectic and often surprising collection of graces and blessings from all over the world for this collection. Though many are religious in nature this is by no means wholly a religious book and would be enjoyed by anyone looking for a few pithy words of wisdom to say over a meal. There are traditional graces, Chinese proverbs, Hindu blessings, Jewish prayers - even a cowboy grace. A perfect blend of wit and wisdom. Oh, and the illustrations are quite nice too!

Wonderful family book
7 Jan 2008
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book as a New Year's gift for my family and we already love it. My kids are 3 and 6 and each day we take turns opening to a random page and reading a blessing. I picked this one over other books because the blessings are a mixture of traditional/heavy and fun/light. I recommend it highly.

Graceful Variety
2 Nov 2010
Format:Hardcover
I found Saying Grace in a candy store. The delightful colorful cover illustration caught my attention. Saying grace at mealtimes has always been a part of my/our family tradition. Now that I have grandchildren I want to encourage that spiritual practice in them and their families. This book's great variety of graces will appeal to children and adults equally. From one line graces to graces of several stanzas with graces from multiple cultures, this book not only encourages saying thanks for God's multiple blessings, it also encourages a broader appreciation and thankfulness for all of God's peoples and creation.

Fantastic
3 Feb 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
We keep this in teh middle of our table, and our 8 year old reads a new one ever dinner time. it's really nice to get out of the old rote, "Come Lord Jesus, be our guest..." once in a while. The prayers in here go from the very short, and topical, to very deep & meaningful. I gave these as Sunday school teacher gifts at Thanksgiving.
