Rick Warren is teaming up with artist Richard Jesse Watson for a children's book, The Lord's Prayer.

To be released in February by Zonderkidz, the children's division of Zondervan, the book "invites children to feel connected to the prayer they've heard their parents recite so many times," company officials said. Warren and Watson "help make the King James Version of this prayer come alive," Zonderkidz added.

Earlier this year, Zondervan postponed Warren's next book, The Hope You Need: From the Lord's Prayer. The company had hoped to release the book in November, but Warren "has expressed his need to focus on some other projects at this time," said Moe Girkins, Zondervan's president and CEO.

Warren is the pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., and author of The Purpose-Driven Life (Zondervan)?the best-selling hardcover nonfiction title in publishing history.
