Summary
In her first picture book， New York Times bestselling author and mother of three Elisabeth Hasselbeck reminds us that little hearts can be anxious too--and that God is always listening to their prayers。
Flashlight Night is narrated by a boy whose parents have used chalkboard paint to create a wall where he and his siblings can write out all their fears， cares， and concerns: Will I learn to blow a bubble？ Tie my shoes？ Stay out of trouble？ Be the friend they choose？
The boy shares the wall with a friend， who records her own prayers。 Later， they visit the chalkboard wall at dusk with a flashlight。 The boy's mom shines the light on some prayers and turns it off at other times， pointing out that their prayers （and the children's faith） are still there， even in the dark， and that God hears every request。
Mom says， Sometimes we see God's yes，
and other times we don't。
But just because it hasn't happened，
doesn't mean it won't。
Even when it's dark and dim
and when we cannot see，
let's choose to place our trust in God。
He's close to you and me。

The author does an excellent job explaining how to have a child like belief in your faith。

This book is a decent tool for teaching prayer and patience。 I think the language and illustrations could have been more engaging。 It seems dated。 Nice that the author included her children as authors too but it doesn’t feel like it was written in current times。

I heard Hasselbeck talk about this on the Rhythms for Life podcast。 I love the concept of helping kids pray by sharing the prayers。。。it's good stuff。 I heard Hasselbeck talk about this on the Rhythms for Life podcast。 I love the concept of helping kids pray by sharing the prayers。。。it's good stuff。 。。。more

Flashlight Night， by Elisabeth Hasselbeck， is a story told by a little boy about his family， a chalkboard wall， and faith in god。 The main message seems to be that god is always listening and to trust him with your concerns and prayers。 I thought this was a great story with a very touching message。 I also loved the pictures that went along with the story and the idea behind the chalkboard。 I would recommend this book to children ages 3-7 who are looking to grow their faith with god or to underst Flashlight Night， by Elisabeth Hasselbeck， is a story told by a little boy about his family， a chalkboard wall， and faith in god。 The main message seems to be that god is always listening and to trust him with your concerns and prayers。 I thought this was a great story with a very touching message。 I also loved the pictures that went along with the story and the idea behind the chalkboard。 I would recommend this book to children ages 3-7 who are looking to grow their faith with god or to understand the meaning behind their faith。 The book does include diversity within the family。 。。。more
