Show Notes

“Does God love boys more than girls?” This was the question that got it all started and sent Mariko Clark on a mission to create a more inclusive children’s story Bible. The Book of Belonging - which is still being written! - doesn’t change the Bible but it does contain more female-centric stories, a brown Jesus and representation of people with all range of skin tones, ability, body shape and size. 

Written with mystery, wonder and mindfulness, The Book of Belonging leans less on morality lessons and more on helping kids understand their identity in Christ.

This episode is for any and everyone whose life includes a child they love so share this with parents, grandparents, educators, kids’ ministry volunteers and pastors!
