Good Night, God: Sleepytime Prayers for Children

Our 5 year old son loves hearing these short, imaginative stories and prayers each night. They help him calm down and get mentally prepared for bedtime, and he often remembers them the next day. No deep theology here, but a gentle and whimsical approach to remembering the Creator, to which you can easily add your own more personalized prayers.

My 8-year old daughter loved this book as much as I enjoyed sharing it with her. Each guided imagery began with "Tonight would be a good night to imagine ... and the author would take the child on a gentle little journey before turning things over to God in prayer. My daughter loved slipping down into the covers and closing her eyes each night to imagine before we would pray. What kept it from 5 stars was the chronology of prayers. They were seasonal, so we were reading about Christmas in the summer. And there weren't enough of them! Give us more, Bernadette! Otherwise, we loved reading this book together!
