We love this book!

We love this book! It’s been a great, gentle introduction to The Examen. My 5 year old is actually most interested in it and really enjoys the engagement. It’s been a nice way for he and I to connect as well.

I loved the book

I loved the book; I gave it as a gift to my young nephew, who was just baptized. I love how the book introduces someone who is little to some of the key ideas of the Examen in a way that is accessible and meaningful.

Ok

The materials are good quality but I don't think the board book format is appropriate for the content. I think age 5+ would be great for starting examen but my kids were turned off by a board book as too babyish. As a board book, the amount of text would be difficult for toddlers to sit through/comprehend. I also think the Jesus in your heart turn wheel had a lot of blank space -usually those are used to rotate through multiple images.

Perfect for preschoolers

My 4 year old loves praying with this book before bed. It helps to calm her mind and body. The prayer prompts are perfect for inviting little ones to talk to Jesus about their day and the interactive wheels and lift the flaps keep them engaged.

My First Examen

Upon seeing this title on your website, I was intrigued so much that I ordered multiple copies, keeping one for myself. The parents and grandparents of the recipients were as impressed as I was! Thank God for inspiring you to create a simple, effective, and meaningful tool to help both young children and adults grow in awareness and humility.
May God continue to bless you and your efforts.

Prayer Routine ✔️

A wonderful addition to our family prayer routine. We have a 7 week old and we answer the questions as we think she would as well as for ourselves. Love the exam in general and this book makes it more accessible for young and old alike. It’s also interactive! Can’t recommend enough.
