Christmas Stories for Bedtime

I absolutely love this Christmas story for bedtime by Renae Brumbaugh, and illustrated by David Miles. The illustrations is not only captivating, but the stories featured in it are just easy to understand.

This book feature alot of stories about Jesus of Nazareth and his early life. It was told in such a way to encourage children to pause and think about the real meaning of Christmas. I like this book very much, and as the title suggest, it’s perfect for a bedtime story.

If you’re looking for a religious bedtime storybook for your children with not only stories but hymns and prayers in it, this book is for you. This book will definitely make a wonderful keepsake. I rate this book 5 stars.

Book description:

Going a step beyond Bible stories, this colorful book challenges children ages five to eight to stop and think about the meaning the first Christmas. Thirty stories are drawn from the breadth of scripture-from Old Testament promises of the Messiah, to the actual Nativity and all the details that surrounded it-and are brightly illustrated, in full color, for young readers’ pleasure. Christmas Stories for Bedtime is perfect for parents wanting to spend spiritual “quality time” with their kids. It’s an ideal follow up to Barbour’s Bible Devotions for Bedtime, Bible Prayers for Bedtime, and Bible Miracles for Bedtime.

I received this digital ARC from Barbour Publishing, Inc via Netgalley. I was not compensated in any way for writing this review, and i was not required to give a positive review for it.

Really Woolly Bible Stories

I just received this cute children bible story book from Booksneeze today, and I was really delighted. The book is really cute and well illustrated. I like it very much, and I daresay children will like it a lot too. The book is a case-bound padded board book, suitable for toddlers and also children up to 8 or 9.

It’s small in size, and contain biblical stories from Old and New Testament. The bible story book is written in the form of rhyme, and it encourages children to look up the complete story in the bible. 😀

This is a really nice book. II may be an adult, but this book caught my attention nevertheless. Perfect for you if you’re a parent and wants to read bible stories to your children during bedtime.

My all time favourite is Noah’s story. In this Really Woolly Bible stories, Noah’s story is told like this:

Noah

His name was Noah, his heart was good,

He built an ark of solid wood,

The animals entered, two by two,

The cakatoo, the kangaroo.

For forty days the rain came down,

Then God sent wind to dry the ground.

He placed a rainbow in the sky,

His colourful promise, way up high!

Very short and sweet, isn’t it? Very easy for children to understand. And on the page where the illustrations is, it reads : Read all about Noah in Genesis 6-9. Same goes with other stories like David and Goliah, Jonah, Joseph, Abraham and many more biblical figures. There’s a rhyme one one page, along with illustrations as well as the bible reference. Really good and encouraging for children. I like this story book very much, even though I’m no longer a child.

This story book is perfect for bedtime stories session and for read-along. Highly recommended, and I give this book two thumbs up. I rate this book 5 stars out of 5.
