God Made Boys and Girls
Helping children know if they are a boy or a girl in this transgender-crazed world may sometimes be hard for parents and educators to navigate. Marty Machowski, pastor and author, shares insightful ways to address the topic with children in his book God Made Boys and Girls.
Pastor Machowski’s book begins with a fictional story of children on a playground. He uses Maya, a girl who loves being a tomboy, as his example. She is teased by a boy who tells her if she keeps acting like a boy she will turn into a boy. Now Maya is worried and asks her teacher if the boy’s tease is true.
“No, God is the one who chooses your code. Gender is his gift to you. The last thing God made was a boy and a girl to look after the world and take care of it. He made them to be partners in caring for his world and in filling the world with boys and girls just like them.”
Pastor Machowski relates the Genesis creation story as well as the gift of God’s only Son for our redemption in His death, burial, and resurrection. He also emphasizes that Jesus said we should love our neighbors even those who disagree with us.
At the back of the book is further help for adults addressing the subject matters in the book.
- Every person is specially created by God.
- All boys and girls are not created the same.
- Gender is not determined by our personality or preferences.
- Let’s be careful with our words.
- The gender confusion of our culture is the result of rejection God’s truth and his ways.
- We are called to love our neighbors.
Genetic conditions are also addressed in this section.
God Made Boys and Girls is published by New Growth Press, Greensboro,NC and is available through Amazon.
