A Candle and a Prayer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781665743747)

There was a time when Eileen would have a pen and pad next to her night table and would write her dreams or any ideas that came to her during the night. One morning, Eileen noticed a candle and a prayer written on her notepad. She did not know what it meant. She prayed and asked God for clarification. One day her grandson, Andrew, who was four, spent a day with his grandparents. Eileen finished preparing lunch and asked Andrew to set the table and put the candle on the table. The three of them sat at the table and Andrew said the blessing. That statement, "Put the candle on the table" sounded familiar to her. Eileen prayed and asked God if that had any meaning. God told her, "I gave you the title." Eileen decided to write a Christian children's book. Her book is about a young boy who spends time with his grandparents while his parents are at work. The book teaches basic table setting. The child will be able to identify and place each piece needed for a perfect table setting. A blessing is said before eating each meal.
