On March 26, New York Times bestselling author Elisabeth Hasselbeck made an appearance on Good Morning America alongside co-anchor Lara Spencer to discuss her newest literary work, God’s Masterpiece: An Adventure in Discovering Your Worth. Released on March 25, this children’s book is designed for young readers aged three to seven.
The story follows two inquisitive children as they explore their sense of self-worth while touring an art museum. The official description of the book on Amazon captures its essence well:
“Join two curious children on an adventure through an art museum in this charming celebration of how God made us. From Claude Monet’s peaceful water lilies to Georgia O’Keeffe’s stunning flowers, every piece the children see reflects the artist’s God-given creativity.”
Elisabeth tied the knot with Tim Hasselbeck on July 6, 2002. Together, they are the proud parents of three children: Grace (born 2005), Taylor (born 2007), and Isaiah (born 2009). According to Celebrity Net Worth, the couple’s combined net worth stands at an impressive $16 million.
Elisabeth first rose to fame after finishing fourth in the 2001 reality series Survivor: The Australian Outback. She later became a household name during her tenure on ABC’s The View, where her lively exchanges with co-hosts Rosie O’Donnell and Joy Behar caught public attention. Following her decade-long stint there, she co-hosted Fox and Friends on Fox News, reportedly earning an annual salary of $3 million at the height of her career.
Presently, Tim Hasselbeck serves as an analyst for ESPN. The former NFL quarterback enjoyed a successful eight-season career (2001-2007) and has a background in NFL Europe. Notably, he is the son of NFL tight end Don Hasselbeck.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck Discusses Her New Book’s Significance on Good Morning America
During her segment on Good Morning America, Elisabeth elaborated on the importance of her new book, God’s Masterpiece. She expressed her desire to create a narrative that reassures children of their inherent worth in an increasingly competitive world.
“When our kids are under a lot of pressure [with] tons of comparison, I do think identity is under threat. We don’t get to say who we are, we have a God that determines that, and we’re all still works in progress,”Hasselbeck stated.
She emphasized the significance of recognizing every individual as a unique creation, beautifully crafted in a divine context. “Not just, ‘Oh, I’m a masterpiece, but guess what, you’re a masterpiece too. And you’re a masterpiece out there.’ We get to look at each other and treat each other as valuable, high worth creations,”she added.
In addition to her literary pursuits, Elisabeth and Tim serve as foster care providers, offering temporary homes to children in need until a permanent solution, like adoption or reunification with their families, can be arranged.
Reflecting on her journey in foster care during her television appearance, Elisabeth shared:
“I didn’t know it was possible until I saw an amazing friend of mine doing it so naturally and wonderfully and she showed me the ropes.”
She further recounted, “I asked [Tim] if we should be doing this, and God put it on our hearts, and it’s been four years of just welcoming little ones in, who really do more for our hearts than we ever do for theirs.”
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is also the author of multiple bestselling titles, including The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide and Point of View: A Fresh Look at Work, Faith, and Freedom.
Currently, God’s Masterpiece: An Adventure in Discovering Your Worth is available on Amazon, priced at $8.99 for the Kindle edition and $14.99 for the hardcover.
