God’s Design for Sex Book 2 – Before I Was Born

Before I Was Born is the second book in the GOD’S DESIGN FOR SEX series, written to be read with children ages 5 to 8. With age-appropriate, straightforward text and informative illustrations, Before I Was Born explains sex as a special gift God gives to a husband and wife and covers such topics as:

• Why God made boys’ and girls’ bodies different
• God’s plan for loving marriages and families
• The basic facts about intercourse, presented in the context of marital love and intimacy
• Conception and fetal development
• Childbirth and breastfeeding

Created to answer the questions inevitably asked by young children, Before I Was Born will help you give your child a vital head start in understanding God’s intended purpose for procreation and sex.

“The series approach is parent-centered, which I especially appreciate.” -Tim Stafford, Senior Writer, Christianity Today
