God Made Babies

“Where do babies come from?” This common question all too often leaves parents perplexed about what to say and when to say it. Justin and Lindsey Holcomb tackle this tough question in a common sense, biblical way. They help parents start the conversation with their children about sex by giving them the basic tools to guide them-including specific biblical content and age-appropriate ways of talking to children at different stages.

The Holcombs along with illustrator Trish Mahoney have been helping parents tackle hard subjects with children for many years, beginning with the award-winning God Made All of Me: A Book to Help Children Protect Their Bodies. Now they bring their expertise to the all-important conversation about sex in God Made Babies: Helping Parents Start the Conversation about Sex. Instead of leaving this conversation to “experts” or to the culture, they equip parents to answer questions about sex in the right way at the right time.

Drawing from the story of creation and how God made the living world to reproduce, God Made Babies helps children to understand the gift of procreation in the light of God’s goodness and care. Rather than waiting to have this conversation with their child at the “perfect” time, the authors encourage parents to answer questions at every stage with just the right amount of information.

God Made Babies is part of the God Made Me series which equips parents to have important, impactful conversations with their children, helping them to grow in understanding of God, themselves, and others. Each book in the series contains a special section just for parents and caregivers that provides biblical guidance and offers additional information and resources for talking about the topic addressed in the story.
