Thank you so much to NetGalley and Tommy Nelson for this eARC in exchange for an honest review!

My kids loved this book. I can’t wait to get a hard copy for our bookshelf, and to gift this to my friends. The art work is fantastic and my kids wanted to linger on the pictures. Reading these prayers before we go to school and before bed has been so helpful to bring the Lord into these little transitional moments. Having them read the prayers also sparks discussions that are fruitful, as we discover more about God and his character. We love it! 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Max Lucados book are always just so wonderful! And this one should be on the shelf of every parent. It was the sweetest, most beautiful story and my kids absolutely cherished each page. Max Lucado does such a beautiful job of writing such beautiful words. Wonderfully done!

When my own children were little, I looked for books just like this: simple, beautifully illustrated, and educational, with a distinct Christian message. God Bless This Child fits that description perfectly. It is important to teach children to pray, not only to ask for something, but to worship God Himself and thank Him for everything He is and has done for us. Young and old will love reading this over and over again. It would be a welcome addition to any family’s bookshelf.

Very sweet book with several prayers for children. This would be an excellent guide for those kids that are learning to pray. The accompanying illustrations are very peaceful and sweet.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this e-ARC!

The art in this is really good, and there were so many cute animal moments captured. When reading this to my nieces, I think the art is what really captured their interest. There was a lot of "awwws" when they say the animals all nice and cozy. The prayers had a nice rhythm to them that could help children as they're going to sleep, and they're just overall feel good and nice. So yeah, if you're a parent with a kiddo you want to read prayers with, this would be a good book to use!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Tommy Nelson for this eARC in exchange for an honest review of it. Fantastic.

4 out of 5 stars.
Hear me out.

At first view the childrens book 'God Bless This Child' by Max Lucado and illustrated by Denalyn Lucado is a beautiful book of adapted prayers for children.

As you know, I am not religious, although I do seek God and belief in something, it's in my own way, but it's there loud and clear.

When I picked this up, I was so worried that there would be some sort of underlying constraint and/or idk agenda? But the prayers are modern and truly sweet. They remind me of this little book of prayers I used to read as a child, the golden treasury ones with the gold spines and the blond child on the front praying with her eyes closed. Anyway, this book gives me the same feelings.

I like how every separate page her or she is used, but it could have been a bit more inclusive with a them or they, but we can't press for things, religion is such a slow moving structure and so easily ruined by the greed of man.

The art is so beautiful, not going to lie. Soft images.

Beautiful bedtime prayers paired with bright illustrations of animals that exude hope, this is a great prayer book to add to your child's library.
