We are grateful to McArthur Krishna and Bethany Brady Spalding for joining us in this timely conversation.

Bethany and McArthur have written several books that we are sure you’ll love as much as we do, here at Faith Matters. One of their most recent works is called A Girl’s Guide to Heavenly Mother, which highlights our wonderful and unique doctrines around the feminine divine in a manner which is super approachable for children. In addition to being full of wise and loving words, their books also contain amazing and unique art that you really need to see.

McArthur has a master’s degree in communication from BYU, and also co-owned Free Range: an award-winning marketing business focused on telling social justice stories. In 2011, she moved to India and started writing books, some of which we talk about in the course of this interview.

Bethany is equally fascinating, and has founded programs that promote health and nutrition in the US, South Africa, and India. She currently leads a regional coalition in Richmond, Virginia to create a healthier food environment for at-risk children.
