God's Words to Dream On by Diane Stortz and Illustrated by Diane Le Feyer


"What better way to spend the last few minutes of the day than smuggled up with your children, pouring God's love into their hearts?" This question from the back of God's Words to Dream On: Bedtime Bible Stories and Prayers by Diane Stortz nails it. This gorgeous book with it's vibrant photos and succinct wording has over 52 stories to read with your children. Each night there is a Bible story, a bedtime blessing leaving the kids with something positive to reflect on, a Bible verse to think on, and a short sleepy-time prayer tied to the theme of the story.

God's Words to dream On is aimed at children four to eight years old, but would also be great in a family setting of mixed ages. The pictures in God's Words to Dream On are quite well done. They are so bright and eye-catching, especially for young ones to look at. I think the stories are a good length for young children to read or hear. The short prayers, verses and blessings are also just right for young ones. I also could see these stories leading to some good discussions for those who aren't sleepy yet. This book also measures 7 inches by 8 inches so it is a good size for children to hold and look at too. I am also impressed with how well God's Words to Dream On is bound. It is sewn tightly with heavy pages and a solid cover so it should be a book that would last a long time. There is also a ribbon marker to save your place for the next night. I  highly recommend this one.
I received this book from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review.
