The key to a good day starts the night before. Unlocking God's word with your children at bedtime opens spiritual doors for your kids that they will have access to for a life time. Making the choice to include scripture at bedtime a priority with your kids can help battle nighttime fears and close doors to overwhelming daily emotions that rise up at night. Including bible verses into your child's sleep routine will aid in providing peaceful sleep and a calming atmosphere at bedtime in your home.

My girls really loved this book. The pictures are adorable and the devotionals are dated, one for 365 days of the year. That really seemed to keep them wanting to see what each day had to say to them. I would recommend them for ages 3-6.

My son loves this one! With comic book hero's being so popular he was instantly drawn to this devotional. And, it's written in true comic book form. Even, if we don't read it, he loves to look at the pictures and figure out the bible story for himself. I would recommend this book for ages 8-12

My kids really liked this one, too. Each story has a nice picture, some quit time questions from Night-Light (the cute green fire fly), a prayer for kids, and what I really love is that it gives a bible word to think about before sleeping. I would recommend this for ages 3-6 for boys or girls.
