Theology of the Body (TOB) Children's Book. Through the use of beautiful illustrations and simple yet truthful and medically correct language, this book explains the majesty God designed into the full, free, faithful, and fruitful communion of spouses that allows "man" to "image" the Trinity, who creates out of love, in order to share love. Complete with biblical and literary references, and granted both the Nihil Obstat (by Msgr. Brian Bransfield) and the Imprimatur (by Archbishop Charles Chaput), Wonderfully Made! Babies will enrich your child's understanding of life's bigger picture while affirming his or her personal worth and place in the world. Here's what one priest has to say about the book: "Our Lord Jesus, the Son of the living God, said 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.' Matthew 19:14. He wants to implant and pour into the heart and soul of children the seed of the Kingdom of His Father. This wonderful book, with a beautiful text, easy to read and understand, and with lively art work, will plant into children the seeds of Jesus' understanding of man and woman. This little book is the "Theology of the Body" for children--get it and give it to children, give it to schools and to Religious-ed classes. I see Pope John Paul II laughing in heaven, amazed that his Theology of the Body has been written in such a way that children can understand it. May he intercede and bless the authors and the illustrator." Fr. Pio Mandato, FMHJ

"Is my baby in heaven?" This is the most important question a grieving parent can ask. And even if the little one is someone else's child, the issue remains: What happens to children?those unborn, stillborn, or youngsters?when they die? Can you hope to see them again? Can you let go of your fear and guilt? Can God's love soothe a wound so jagged? With scriptural authority and the warmth of a pastor's heart, bestselling author John MacArthur examines the breadth of the entire Bible and reveals in this compelling book the Heavenly Father's care for every life. "I have sat by the grave of our daughter and son and wondered out loud if my belief that Hope and Gabriel are in heaven has any solid scriptural support. John MacArthur offers truth from God's Word that puts the doubts of any grieving parent to rest. Safe in the Arms of God reveals that confidence of heaven for the child you love is based on much more than mere sentimentality; it is revealed in the Word of God and reflective of the very heart of God." ?Nancy Guthrie, author of Holding On to Hope

Starting a family is a soul-shaping, world-altering experience. Unfortunately, in a culture of competing values and protracted timelines, couples are increasingly backing their way into parenting or missing it altogether.
