It’s here! It’s here! Today is release day for my newest picture book, Bedtime Blessings: God’s Gentle Care! The second in a series of three, this book explores the simple but powerful notion of speaking words of blessing over our little ones before they go to sleep.Guess what? Courtesy of Paraclete Press, I have three copies to give away! Take a peek at how the book begins, admire some of the gorgeous illustrations by Natalie Merheb and be sure to enter the giveaway…

Beginning with the following words and inspired by 1 Peter 5:7, God’s Gentle Care contains barnyard animals and reminds children that God watches over them all through the night.

Little One, I pray for you, as you are lying there,

That you will know you’re safely held in our God’s gentle care.

The book closes with four different blessings that can be personalized with the child’s name and invites parents, grandparents, caregivers or children’s ministry leaders to pray any of these blessings over the children in their care…Would you like to win a copy of Bedtime Blessings: God’s Gentle Care for a Christmas gift for a child in your life, a Sunday school teacher or to donate to a school or church library?
