Christmas Stories For Bedtime (Bedtime Bible Stories)
Zoey (age 6: "I loved this book! I liked the pictures. It was easy to read and had prayers to say. I practiced them all. I didn t know Jesus had so many names. Jesus was very special and people kept coming to see him. Mary didn t want them to wake up Jesus. The story told me that sometimes I have to do things I don t want to do, but I know I need to do them even if they are hard. You have to pray every day." Zoey's Nana: Zoey and her friend read this book for two days and talked about the stories. They liked the prayers and made us do them all. She asked a lot of questions and it was so easy for her to understand. "Christmas Stories for Bedtime" is a great book to introduce children to the birth of Jesus and what Christmas is all about. --Zoey Crane (age 6) and her NanaReader Views2010-10-01Brumbaugh's stories and images create "faith-building" opportunities with young children. All stories center on the birth of Jesus Christ. However, what I especially liked were the prayers that tied to events children experience every day. Children love Christmas and this pastor's wife and author's delightful storybook offers "spiritual quality time" with children that focuses on the real reason for Christmas. --Gail D. WelbornThe Cypress Times2010-10-30This is a great little book for sharing the Christmas story with kids. It takes a Bible verse about the Christmas story and explains it in further detail in a way kids can understand. For example, it tells what it's like to be a shepherd and what they would have been doing when the angel appeared. After the explanation is a short prayer and then the lyrics to a Christmas hymn or poem. Nice illustrations accompany the text. --Nicole ErwinGoodreads2010-12-16
