God's Perfect Peace

Glenys Nellist was born and raised in a little village in northern England. The author of many children's books, including five popular series: Love Letters from God, Snuggle Time, ’Twas, Bedtime Blessings, and Little Mole, her writing reflects a deep passion for helping children discover joy and hope in the world. Glenys lives in Michigan with her husband, David.

Natalie Merheb studied fine art at university and worked for several years in graphic design, dreaming of becoming a children’s book illustrator. She loves illustrating nature, animals, and recreations of classics. Natalie now lives in Dubai, a city of perpetual heat and sun, with her husband and daughters. When not illustrating, you might find her horseback riding in the desert, cooking in her kitchen, or at the beach with her family. 

"In these prayers, a variety of relatable similes help kids imagine what God’s peace is like (e.g. a blanket, a whisper, a hug) and also encourage them to find peace and rest in the knowledge of God’s presence, love, and care. The illustrations, in deep saturated colors, feature sweet animal families, and might be used to comfort a child after waking from a nightmare, or as a consistent part of their bedtime routine." -- Lindsey Cornett, Managing Editor of Englewood Press

"As parents read God's Perfect Peace to their children, their bedtime routine will be greatly enriched with this precious nighttime blessing. Through calming lyrical words and endearing characters, the warmth of God's peace will wrap around little ones like a snuggly blanket. Another gem from beloved author Glenys Nellist." –Crystal Bowman, award-winning author of more than 100 books for children including Good Morning, God Loves You!

“I love to read this book to my little granddaughter—you’ll love it too because it features Glenys’s reassuring prose, charming illustrations and a comforting message that will send your little one off to sleep with a smile." —Lisa Tawn Bergren, bestselling author of the God Gave Us series

"From the moment I opened Glenys Nellist's newest book, God's Perfect Peace, I felt calm and safe myself. God's presence is described as a blanket, a whisper, a hug.The illustrations are as gentle and loving as the text, which is based on Scripture verses. The encouragement for parents to offer their own blessing to their child, with suggestions at the end of the book, make this a perfect way to wrap up a day." —Kathleen Long Bostrom, author of 40 books that have sold 2 million copies including What about Heaven? and God Loves You in the “Little Blessings” series
 

“God's Perfect Peace will settle anxious hearts with the joyful knowledge that God is nearer to them than their next breath. The perfect book to read with little ones before bed!” --Courtney Ellis, pastor and author of Looking Up: A Birder's Guide to Hope Through Grief

“God's Perfect Peace is like a lullaby and a litany rolled into one—a bedtime story that tucks in both little ones and their grown-ups with a cozy, divine hug. I can already picture my kiddo dozing off, snuggled in the sweet assurance that God’s peace is always there, like the world’s softest security blanket.”—Rev. Melissa Collier Gepford, pastor, mother, and author of You Are Mine and I Am Yours: A Wesleyan Prayer for Kids
