A "girls only" Bible devotion

Sweet Dreams Princess: Bedtime Bible Stories, Devotions, & Prayers (make sure the title is in italics), written and illustrated by Sheila Walsh, a well-known Christian singer and author, is over 300 pages and filled with 81 different Bible stories and devotions for girls. The stories are taken directly from the International Children's Bible. Each story is two pages long. At the end of each story is a devotion, followed by a short prayer, a promise or a praise. The prayers are intended for encouraging girls to develop the habit of talking with God through prayer at the end of the day. An example: "Lord, please forgive me when I have an unthankful heart. I want you to know that I am THANKFUL for you and your goodness to me!" The promises are short notes about God's promises. An example: "God still speaks to his Princesses through the Bible and through our quiet times of PRAYER and praise!" The praises are little blessings to help girls think about all the blessings in their life and praise God for them. An example: "Dear God, you created the world and all that is in it. Nothing is too difficult for you!" The artwork starts with the cover. It is bright pink with a jeweled crown (fake jewels set into the cover) sitting on a puffy pink pillow (a piece of stuffed fabric in the shape of a pillow glued onto the cover). The pages alternate in different pastel colors with various borders and stars and flowers sprinkled throughout. What I Like: Everything. What I Dislike: Nothing. Overall Rating: Excellent. Age Appeal: The publisher suggests 4-8 as the intended age group for this book. Most kids in this age group would need the stories read to them. I think girls as old as 10 would enjoy a Bible story book like this one. Christine M. Irvin - Christian Children's Book Review

children's devotioinal

We used this book as a gift for a precious baby girl. What a great way for the family to begin sharing God with their children!

Perfect for a Little Princess

My four-year-old daughter adores this book. We read a story from it every night before bed. The stories are short and simplified enough for her to understand. She often can be heard retelling the story the next day to her grandparents, or asking me more questions about the story after she has thought it over.

Awesome little book

I purchased this Sweet Dreams Princess book for my grand daughters. The book shares the Love of Christ and they love it. They pick it out and want to be read to and try to read it themselves. My 7 year old grand daughter has it on the shelf right by her bed.

Thought-provoking devotions to share with your girls ages 4-8.

If you have small children, chances are you've had your share of opportunities to read bedtime stories. In my experience, far too much of the children's literature available today is full of nothing but silliness. While there is a time and place for silliness, there are times when it's important for the stories we share with our children to take on a more serious and thought-provoking tone. As I leafed through the pages in this book, I knew it would present many opportunities for heart-felt spiritual discussions with my daughters. At first glance, you'll notice that this book is geared towards young girls between ages 4 & 8. Your girls will like the jeweled crown and puffy pink pillow on the cover and the many colorful illustrations throughout. This book has 81 different stories from both the Old and New Testaments based on the International Children's Bible. After each Bible story there is a sweet dreams devotion and either a prayer, promise, or praise. It's the sweet dreams devotions that give this book an A+ in my book. That's where you'll find further explanation to each Bible story and some simple questions that can lead to a great discussion. I highly recommend Sweet Dreams Princess: God's Little Princess Bedtime Bible Stories, Devotions, & Prayers. This would make a great Christmas gift and will be perfect for that New Year's resolution to share a nightly devotion and prayer time with your children.
