Teaching Pro-Life Values to Children with Dr. Georgia Purdom and Stacia McKeever

The Master Books Podcast

"We need to raise up another generation of pro-life people. People that are committed to speaking up for the unborn, speaking up for those who can't speak for themselves. And so we need to start early with teaching them those ideas." Stacia McKeever

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.
