I purchase a supply of these books evey so often to keep on hand for the new mothers in our church. A friend gave it to me when my son was born and I just loved it. The birth of a baby is such a wonderful, sensitive time and this touches your heart and spirit in all the right ways.

I had this book back when I had my children...and read it (and marked in it) so much, it almost began to fall apart. I also gave it to many people as a gift, and that's what I intend to do now, as my daughter-in-law is ready to deliver our first grandchild next month. A really special book that is wonderful both to give and receive.

I received this book from my Grandmother when I found out I was pregnant with my son. Reading through the pages was such a comfort for me; for you see, I am married to a sailor, and the birth of our son was very close to my husband going to sea and being gone 6 months. I had all the questions, concerning "can I do it alone?" and "do I really want a baby right now?" This book and a whole lot of prayer got us through. My son is now 20 years old. I am so glad the book is still in print, for I am now going to pass on the wisdom to a new generations of "Moms".

I often give this book as a pregnancy gift for Christian friends. Its quaint illustrations and sentimental poems and meditations are lovely. There's something for every expectant mother: first baby, last baby, surprise baby, anticipated baby, girl baby or boy baby. I loved reading this book to soothe my anxious moments as an expectant mother, and it's a comfort that I like to share with my friends.
