With engaging Bible stories, beautiful prayers, and colorful illustrations, this book offers a simple way to keep a bedtime routine with children that will foster not only a love of reading but also a love of God's Word. Full color.
Hearing Bible stories read out loud at bedtime is often a child's first introduction to spending time with God's Word--and the effects can last a lifetime. In God's Words to Dream On, bestselling author Diane Stortz (The Sweetest Story Bible) and incredible illustrator Diane Le Feyer offer a vibrant combination of story and picture with a "once upon a time" voice that stays true to God's powerful Word.
Fifty-two stories take children ages 4-8 through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation in a way that helps young readers see God's plan from before Creation to send Jesus to make the world right again. These carefully chosen stories teach children about God's provision, love, and strength--the perfect truths to be in their hearts as they drift off to sleep.
Ideal for birthday, baptism, and "I love you" gifts from parents, grandparents, Sunday school teachers, and godparents, God's Words to Dream On helps children understand the value of reading God's Word every day. Each engaging Bible story includes:
- A brief Bible verse called God's Words to Dream On
- A good-night prayer related to the story called Sleepy-Time Prayer
- A short summary thought called Bedtime Blessing
God's Words to Dream On also includes ideas for establishing a good bedtime routine with your kids, tips for reading aloud, and inspiration for introducing children to the greatest Book of all.
