The Baby Garden answers the age-old question that young children ask of “Where do babies come from?” from a spiritual possibility.This sweet book helps young readers to understand the Scripture behind Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you: And I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”The Baby Garden declares that babies are all with Jesus before conception, and it develops a level of belief that God specifically assigns each person a guardian angel from the beginning, who will be with them before they are born, throughout their lives, and after they die. This claim is grounded in the Scripture from Psalm 91:11, “For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.” It also supports that God’s gifts to each person are uniquely planned out along with individual talents that make each person unique."
