God's Words to Dream on ~ Diane Strotz

This is a children's book for Bible bedtime stories and prayers.  This is a hardcover book and is very colorful, the pages and illustrations are wonderful, they capture the story very well.  The paper quality is outstanding, thick and glossy, so it can withstand lots of page turning and finger points to all the action on the pages.  Each section has a title, Bible verse, God's word to dream on, story from bible, bedtime blessing and sleepy time prayer that is about 4-5 pages, quick reads and very easy to understand.

I would recommend this book to ages between 5-10 if they are reading on their own, but this book is so good, that any reading age can read this book to any ages.  I would recommend this book be read with the child and parent so they are able to discuss God's word.  It would be a great addition to any church Sunday school lesson, the prayers don't have to be nighttime, they can be prays for anytime of the day.  I was very impressed with this book, it would be good for those that are new believers and trying to understand what the bible is saying.  You could use this as a very basic learning tool and then be able to move into heavier reading.  It even has a ribbon bookmark right in the binding of the book, so you can't loose your place.  Great gift book for any child!

  More from Diane

A happy bedtime contributes so much to a child’s welfare. Perhaps a warm bath, a story, some cuddles with mom or dad, and a prayer equal a time-tested bedtime routine. These last moments of the day, done right, create a wonderful sense of family security and love for children as they fall asleep.
Bedtime also gives us a wonderful opportunity to help children grow secure in God’s love. I wrote God’s Words to Dream On for just that reason. The stories not only create an overview of the Bible’s big story, but they focus on God’s love and care—the ways He shows us His power and protection and the reasons we can trust Him. Each story includes a simple Bible verse to remember, a simple prayer, and a bedtime blessing for your child.
Young children thrive on routine, and I think a Bible story at bedtime might be one of the best!
