Give It to God and Go to Bed

July 19, 2021
Naturopathic doctor Smith (Get Well Soon) examines the restorative properties of sleep in this informative guide for Christians. Referring to stress, work, and worry as the three “thieves” that interfere with a good night’s sleep, Smith asks readers to “pick their battles” and create a prayer regimen to connect with God before heading to bed. She also identifies different stages of sleep, explains how to recognize behaviors that signal the need for more rest, and offers practical advice for making any bedroom a restful sanctuary, such as cleaning one’s room daily, hiding electronics, hanging curtains higher, and adding throw pillows to one’s bed. Smith writes of having prophetic dreams after she surrendered her “sleep, dreams, and prayer life to God” and claims a dream helped her heal from a mysterious illness. Those who, like the author, believe dreams have real power, will appreciate the symbolic dream dictionary included, as well as Smith’s “10 Days to a Lifetime of Deeper Sleep and Dreams” program. Smith’s transformative principles will appeal to Christians seeking both physical and spiritual rest.
