Bedtime: Making the Most of the Sweet, the Silly, and the Sacred

by Kyle Dunn

Does putting your children to bed feel like one more chore in a very long day? Do you wish for greater connection with your screen-focused kids?

Bedtime is a gift from God; an opportunity for togetherness as part of your daily family rhythm.

Tender conversations with lots of eye contact by the soft glow of a lamp. Bonding through laughter, sharing stories, singing songs, and making memories. Becoming closer to God and each other through prayer and the power of Scripture. Experiencing much needed closeness through a kiss and a squeeze.

In this book, pastor Kyle Dunn aims to cheer you on as a parent. Zero guilt—just lots of encouragement. Bedtime: Making the Most of the Sweet, the Silly, and the Sacred celebrates all of the potential in the nightly routines. The time spent slowing down together at the end of each day leads your children to trust God and you—well beyond their childhood years.

Get ready to laugh and be prepared to wipe a few tears. You will love the heartwarming stories from families just like yours. And chapter by chapter, you will discover that the sweetness, silliness, and sacredness of bedtime can touch something down deep—not just in your kiddos—but also in you.

Soak up every sweet, stinky, fussy, lovable, exhausting bedtime with your babies. The tucking-in years are few.
