One day, a group of students and their teacher travel to a zoo safari park to learn all about the different animals. During a fun jeep ride around the park, the guide shares fascinating information about lions, rhinoceroses, elephants, buffalo, and more, pointing out distinctive characteristics about each animal’s body and how those qualities make the animals special. Along the way, the children start to notice how their differences in appearance make each of them special too. Their teacher helps them reflect on their own body image and teaches them how they were created uniquely in God’s image. Because bodies can be confusing and sometimes embarrassing to children, Justin and Lindsey Holcomb wrote God Made Me in His Image for parents to use in helping their kids understand how God made their bodies in his image. Parents and caregivers can use this powerful book, illustrated by Trish Mahoney, to help children understand their feelings about their bodies and help them accept them by highlighting God’s loving design of our individual physical characteristics. God Made Me in His Image 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. “Justin and Lindsey have done it again—creating an unbelievable resource that's rich, accurate, engaging, and just plain HELPFUL to us as parents trying to teach our kids to love and honor their bodies! I can't wait to buy an entire box to give copies to all of our parent friends!” Jefferson Bethke, NYT Best-selling Author of Take Back Your Family “Every single day, I sit in my counseling office with kids of all shapes and sizes who don’t like their bodies. Especially in this day and time, we want the kids we love to have confidence in who they are. We want them to see themselves as valuable at every level and deeply loved by God. This wonderful new book by Justin and Lindsey Holcomb will do just that. From the outside in, they bring the truth of who God is and how deeply he loves and delights in each and every child . . . including their amazing, God-designed little bodies.” Sissy Goff, Director of Child and Adolescent Counseling, Daystar Counseling; author of Raising Worry-Free Girls and Brave: A Teen Girl’s Guide to Beating Worry & Anxiety “This is an awesome resource! If you have kids, this is what they need. Who am I? Someone God made and called ‘very good.’” Michael Horton , Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary, California; author of Core Christianity “In a world of bullying, anger, and disdain, this precious book reminds adults and children alike that each one of us, no matter our differences, has dignity and value as God’s hand-knit image bearer. Read it over and over again—for your children and for yourself.” Diane Langberg, Ph.D., Psychologist “In this Instagram age of ‘the most beautiful kids in the world,’ I’m immensely thankful for the Holcombs’ encouraging and insightful book. I wish I had had it when I was a child and hated my freckles. Rather than just telling kids are great because they’re kids, your children will learn that their beauty and importance come from a loving Father’s creative hand. Buy this for your kids and for all your friends’ kids too.” Elyse Fitzpatrick, Coauthor of Give Them Grace: Dazzling Your Kids with the Love of Jesus “The Holcombs have written a thoughtful and compelling children’s book that zeros in on the glory of how God has uniquely crafted our body and our self. But don’t be fooled—this is a brilliant theological treatise as much for adults as for children. They offer us a message about Genesis 1–3 that is more than a teaching tool for children—it is a reminder for us all to bless our Creator and be amazed as to who we are as his creatures. It is never too early to help children appreciate their bodies and never too late for parents and grandparents who read the story to do the same.” Dan B. Allender, Ph.D., Professor of Counseling Psychology; Founding President, The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology  “As a dad of two daughters, I’ve often found myself anxious and even overwhelmed by the competing images and messages they’ve received about their bodies, their appearance, and their acceptance. Mine are off to college now, but I’m still going to buy them God Made Me in His Image. I hope this extraordinary resource finds its way into your home.”  Chuck DeGroat, PH.D., LPC, Professor of Pastoral Care and Christian Spirituality, Western Theological Seminary “Add this book to your kids’ must-have library. You and your children will benefit from what you will learn.”  Jessica Thompson, Author and speaker “ God
