Great quiet time book, February 24, 2000
This review is from: My Good Night Bible (My Good Night Collection) (Hardcover)
In my search to find a way to introduce my 2 year old to reading the Bible, I came across this book. It is divided into Old testament and New testament stories. Each story opens with a "Jesus said..." or "God said...." followed by a referring verse. Ex: "Jesus said, 'Show mercy.' Luke 6:36" This story is about the story of the Samaritan and how he showed mercy. The stories are short, use kid language, alliteration, rhythm, and rhyme. The table of contents gives Scripture references to the titled story for parents of older children who might want to expand the story a bit. Ex: "Happy Birthday Jesus" gives reference to Luke 2:4-7. After every story there are three little sections: Quiet Time, Prayer Time, and Sleep Time. Quiet Time has the child help Night-Light reflect on the story by asking simple questions. Prayer Time has a simple prayer. Sleep Time gives the child a simple word to reflect on while they sleep. The illustrations are bright and colorful. Hidden in the colorful page is Night-Light, and my daughter enjoys finding him. My daughter loves it and will not go to bed with out a story. She will pick up the book and pretend to read it; saying, "Jesus said...." It is a pleasent way to wind down from a busy day and gives you time to sit and be quiet with your child while starting a great habit of reading and reflecting on Scripture. I recommend this to anyone with a child 2 to 6 years of age.

My Good Night Bible, September 24, 2003
This review is from: My Good Night Bible (My Good Night Collection) (Hardcover)
We love this Bible. This is the best Bible we have found for our 3year old daughter. We are very pleased that there is a story on the baptism of the Holy Spirit which is usually overlooked in Bibles for children this small. We definately suggest it!! She loves it too! She has worn the cover off!

Great book for the younger kids, January 28, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: My Good Night Bible (My Good Night Collection) (Hardcover)
I got this book for my almost 5-year-old son about a month ago and he's been asking me to read it to him every night. He likes to look at the colorful pictures and ask questions about the characters. The story is a little overly simplified for the pre-K kids, so I usually go into a little more details to satisfy his curiosity. However, I like the style of the writing. Its use of rhythms and repetitive phrases makes the message easy for the kids to memorize. I'd like to get another bible with more story telling for him.
