The Three Roses

Author: Olivier Bonnewijn

Eleven-year old Bella tries to pray every day in a special place all her own. Her heart is full of love, but her prayers are interrupted by daydreams, worries, and a younger sister. What is she to do?

This story beckons the young reader to join Bella at her prayer corner and learn how to persevere in prayer. Talking to God and, especially, listening to him requires patience. In this sweet story, Bella's faithfulness in overcoming distractions is richly rewarded.

This is the second book in The Adventures of Jamie and Bella, a popular series of stories that can be read independently of the others, that contain the exciting and enriching experiences of the twins Jamie and Bella. At the end of each book, is a set of faith-deepening questions and answers that children and parents can discuss together. Illustrated throughout with lovely four-color pictures.
