It's easy to convey the message to children that their bodies or particular parts of their bodies are shameful. This misconception fuels confusion embarrassment and secrecy and often prevents children from recognizing or reporting sexual abuse.

God Made All of Me is a simply-told beautifully-illustrated story to help families talk about these sensitive issues with two- to eight-year-old children. Because the private parts of our bodies are private the home is the ideal environment where a child should learn about his or her body and how it should be treated by others.

God Made All of Me?starts from the fundamental truth that God created everything and applies that truth to kids and their bodies. It equips parents to talk with both boys and girls about their bodies and to help them understand the difference between the appropriate and inappropriate touch of others. God Made All of Me allows families to build a first line of defense against sexual abuse in the safety of their own homes.

God Made All of Me is the first children's book written by Rid of My Disgrace authors Justin and Lindsey Holcomb. Parents of young children themselves the Holcombs regularly counsel victims of sexual abuse and are profoundly aware of the dangers kids face. Their simple and relatable story designed to help children protect their bodies will be an important resource for every family with young children.

Protecting our children begins with conversations that help them understand how to protect themselves. Unfortunately many parents simply arent equipped to have these often difficult and awkward conversations with their little ones. Tragically sexual offenders realize this and often target children who have never learned how to protect their bodies. The simplicity of the text and the wonderful illustrations make God Made All of Me the perfect resource for teaching our children this absolutely necessary information. What I love most about this amazing little book is how beautifully it conveys Gods love for little ones by wanting them to be safe. As a former child abuse prosecutor I have no doubt that God Made All of Me will be a major contribution to making our world a safer place for our precious children.

Justin and Lindsey have written a book to help us protect our children from sexual abuse. In clear and simple language it engages the child in the discussion. Woven throughout is the foundational belief that our children have been purposefully created by God and that every aspect of their being was his idea. I highly recommend God Made All of Me to parents of young children. Love them well by educating them about keeping their bodies safe.

This is a strange and beautiful book. Strange because its so unique: exploring Gods creation with a view to helping children protect themselves in an increasingly at-risk culture. Beautiful because it hits its mark: instilling practical wisdom in a way that teaches without terrifying. The combined experience of the authors makes this a terrific resource for parents as well. As a father of four?? I highly recommend it.??
