    About this ebook

    Among the scores of books written for expectant mothers, few recognize pregnancy as the spiritually exciting, challenging time that it is. The authors of *Birthed in Prayer** understand that the mother is formed and transformed by these 9 months almost as much as is the baby! Through lively storytelling and thoughtful questions, they invite the mother-to-be to explore the emotional and physical changes of pregnancy as part of her lifelong movement into faith and wholeness. Their own insights are magnified by wisdom from scripture, from dozens of expectant mothers, and from sages such as Parker Palmer and Flora Slosson Wuellner.

    Barker, deMeillon, and Harrison recognize pregnancy as a time of profound spiritual gestation as a woman moves into new relationships with God, herself, her family, and her unborn child. Birthed in Prayer is a source of nourishment and companionship for this deeply transformative season in a woman's life. This book moves readers through the spiritual disciplines of paying attention, releasing old attitudes and lifestyles while opening to new, and learning to change and be changed by the creative process going on inside them. Birthed in Prayer is a practical guide to the divine mystery in one of life’s most common miracles.
