Crafted by God is a new Christian book designed to teach children ages 7 and up the value of life. This interactive, oversized book is biblically and scientifically accurate and helps parents ensure that their children know the simple but profound truth - that they are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God, by God.
Co-authors, Dr. Georgia Purdom and Stacia McKeever, join the Master Books podcast to talk about how this book teaches in a kid-friendly way, the facts about the developmental stages of an unborn baby, when gender is biologically determined, and more God-honoring truths about the value of a life.
