My Adoration Prayer Journal for Youth: A Catholic Guide for Children and Teens/Catholic Journaling/Religious Education/Confirmation/Retreats
I am excited to announce my collection of Gratitude and Prayer journals! I've been able to find a printer and get my ideas down on paper to share with all.
**This journal is the physical printed book of all of my Adoration Journals that can be printed from your home printer for personal or classroom use. The digital at-home option is in my shop.
*Want free shipping for this book? Go to Amazon at www.amazon.com/author/amy-j-smith for the full collection of my Gratitude and Prayer Journals. And it's cheaper.
With rising shipping costs, national tax fees, and other fees for me, it is better for you, the customer, to head to Amazon to purchase the book directly. Even though I receive a small margin of commission on Amazon, it is a tiny bit more than I would on this site. Plus I don't have to pay for a box and shipping sticker to ship it!

This Catholic Adoration journal was created after years of wanting a guide for my Middle School students to help them pray during Adoration at our Catholic school and focus during their time with Jesus. I've collected Catholic traditions and teachings in one notebook for our Catholic youth to have ownership and connection to their Catholic faith. I pray this journal strengthens others in our faith and our journey with Jesus.
