‘Full of practical, down-to-earth advice and fresh biblical insights … a great resource for parents embarking on this new adventure.’ Chris and Jo Saxton
This book takes a totally unique look at pregnancy. Instead of focusing on ‘material’ preparations for having a baby, it helps us to prepare our hearts, emotions and spiritual lives for the arrival of a newborn.
It equips expectant mums and dads in shaping their attitudes towards parenthood, helping tem to bring God into every aspect of pregnancy, birth and life with a young baby.
Will and Lucinda share the story of their journey through pregnancy, and the stories of their friends, with humour and sensitivity. Theory biblical insights, interwoven with personal story, make for a human and engrossing read.
