Rebecca Masdon
What would you do if you were given only 3 months left to live? For Rebecca Masdon, this life-altering terminal cancer diagnosis sparked her passion for writing. She began with inspiring Christian blogs, which eventually led to her Amazon bestselling book, Sebastian Explores Baptism,” nurturing the spiritual growth of young readers everywhere.
From terminal to triumph, Rebecca Masdon writes stories of faith and resilience as a “dead girl walking.”
Once given only three months to live due to a terminal cancer diagnosis, she now channels her miraculous survival into powerful stories as a writer and guest speaker. A woman of unwavering faith and resilience, Rebecca has always had a special place in her heart for children, serving as the ultimate aunt to everyone else’s kids. Her journey has taken her from teaching pre-K classes to leading local community outreach programs, where she nurtured young minds to explore the Bible as a fun adventure.
A Bold Act of Courage and Transformation
Rebecca chose to let her husband shave her head after her chemotherapy began causing her hair to fall out, a courageous act that reflects her resilience and strength. For her, this decision represents not only the release of the physical manifestation of her illness but also an embrace of a deeper, authentic beauty that radiates from within. This bold step serves as a powerful reminder that true transformation often starts when we confront discomfort and face life’s challenges directly. Through her journey, Rebecca inspires others to tap into their faith and live boldly in the face of adversity.
Throughout her childhood, Rebecca grappled with complex religious topics that often left her feeling confused as a child. This personal struggle ignited her passion for making difficult concepts more accessible to younger audiences. Inspired by her own experiences, she created the Christian children’s book series, *Sebastian Explores*, designed to introduce children to challenging biblical themes in a relatable and fun way.
The first book in the series, *Sebastian Explores Baptism*, has quickly gained recognition, becoming an Amazon bestseller. In it, Rebecca thoughtfully explores the Christian concept of baptism, fostering understanding and curiosity among young readers. With strengthening the family bond in mind, she created the sweetest bedtime story for parents to share with their children. Through simple language and colorful illustrations, Sebastian Explores Baptism simplifies the complicated theology of baptism so that early readers understand the promise and power of one of God’s most beautiful covenants. Rebecca’s mission is clear: to illuminate the path of faith for the next generation, one story at a time.
