Christian stories for bedtime and early readers

Plant a faith that lasts — one bedtime story at a time.

Through original, beautifully illustrated stories, Covenant Reader helps you turn bedtime into a simple yet powerful time of story, conversation, and prayer. Each story plants one truth from God’s Word — always rooted in his love — with a supporting Scripture verse, questions to talk about together, and a prayer prompt, so faith takes root early and grows deep.

Our promise

Written with care, conviction and love.

A faith that lasts

Truth planted early, in stories a child asks for again — so roots go down deep while their heart is young.

Made for the parent who feels unsure

No curriculum, no perfect words. Open a story tonight; the Parent Notes help you initiate conversations.

Shown, not preached

Children meet truth through characters and choices — never a lecture — then a short conversation helps it take root.

Grace, not works

Children are loved first — never taught to earn God’s love by being good.

Trustworthy theology

One truth per story, grounded in Scripture, reviewed by a pastor — from the historic Christian faith.

A calmer kind of screen

No ads, no tracking, no endless feed. Finite, beautiful stories and a quiet bedtime.
