Back to topFritz and the Midnight Meetup: A True Story About Kids Who Prayed (Hardcover)
Description
One by one, the children tiptoe down the stairs . . .
It's midnight at the orphanage, and a group of children are sneaking to the kitchen to pray together. Would anyone else come too? they wonder. Night after night, more children join the fireside prayer meeting. But a bully named Fritz threatens to disrupt the group. When he sneaks down to scare the other children, will Fritz be the one who is surprised?
In this heartwarming story, readers will share the excitement as the boys and girls creep down the dark stairs, and they will feel the tension of the bully’s threats. But most of all they will discover the difference children can make when they pray together. Based on a true story from a German orphanage in 1860, Fritz and the Midnight Meetup celebrates the blessing of corporate prayer—and how children play a valuable part.
