An Invaluable Guide for Parents-to-Be

"Gift of Life: A Spiritual Companion for the Mother-to-Be," by Joan Swirsky, is a unique new book that every mother-to-be will cherish. It is a rich and deeply meaningful "treasure" about the miraculous and spiritual nature of bringing a child into the world, offering numerous invaluable suggestions to guide every expectant mother (and her partner)through the joyous yet complex months of pregnancy. This "gem" is the FIRST and ONLY book to address the spiritual and awe-inspiring aspects of the greatest miracle of all -- creating a new life! Every other book ever written about pregnancy and childbirth contains lots of clinical information about morning sickness, sonograms, stages of labor, the list goes on... But "Gift of Life" reminds anyone contemplating pregnancy or already pregnant (whether it's their 1st, 3rd, or 10th baby) about the importance of recognizing and appreciating the joys of carrying a child, giving birth, and becoming a parent. This inspirational book encourages both a woman and her partner to value their lives and the life of the tiny and precious person they have yet to meet. In our modern, often hectic and chaotic world, "Gift of Life" celebrates this magical time. Anyone who is pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant, should read this special book. Elana Hayden :)
