Paperback. Condition: Good. Spirit-Led Parenting Over the years, a mainstream approach to Christian parenting has emerged, and it's one that promotes sleep training and feeding schedules for infants, warns that spoiled children and marital discord are certain by-products of homes where newborns are over-indulged, and promotes these methods as the Biblical way to care for a new baby. Unfortunately, the message of mainstream parenting advice preys on the universal fear of new parents everywhere: the fear that if they stray from the program, their babies and their marriages will suffer. In Spirit-Led Parenting: From Fear to Freedom in Baby's First Year, two mothers share their stories. They tell of a journey that began in fear-soaked, tear-stained days marked by an overwhelming fear of failure that eventually found redemption in discovering the freedom to ignore the wisdom of man and follow the direction of the Spirit. - This gentle path looks toward the example of God the Father, seeks after Christ's unequivocal call to servanthood, and leans upon the wisdom of the Holy Spirit in determining and meeting the individual needs of each unique child. - Spirit-Led Parenting doesn't encourage a methodology, but rather a mindset. This outlook on parenting is radically different from what has become the trend in Christian circles, and yet the authors believe that it is firmly rooted in and supported by Scripture. - Throughout the book, the authors show how parenting with a spirit-led approach has allowed them to become more peaceful, happy mothers, more intimately connected to their husbands, and closer and more surrendered to Christ. Sharing from their unique experiences as well as their shared philosophy, Megan and Laura play the role of big sisters, wrapping their arms around the shoulder of the new mother trying to navigate the confusing world of life with a baby and answering those important questions: What if the 'right' way doesn't feel 'right'? and Could there be more than one way to honor God as I care for my baby? There is another way. That's what they wish they had been told as new mothers. And it's the message they are passionate about sharing with new parents everywhere.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. I had been in the hospital for a few days with my new baby, Alma, and was breast-feeding her when suddenly she let out a little whimper, like a mew as she was feeding. It was a sound so vulnerable, so innocent, so new to me. I sat there stunned by my love, looking down at this tiny angel who had just wrenched my heart-forever - and this poem came to me: Soft whimpers Heaven-made to break Mothers' hearts The poem was sudden and complete-and it came out of nowhere. I thought, Wow, that's a haiku. Cool. I forgot about it for a while, but the poem kept coming back to me so I decided to write it down. I had never written a haiku before, and so thought it was a keeper. Little did I know I had just opened the floodgates of baby-inspired poetry to flow from me, because over the next twelve months I wrote, or rather channeled, over seventy haikus Then I started to write about what they meant. I feel like these poems were baby-inspired in the larger sense: my baby, your baby, our babies inspired these words that came through me. I wanted to share them, and the lessons of first-year motherhood and babyhood that they represent. I wanted Moms to know that the miracle they are living, exhausting and difficult at times, is felt by us all. Not only are we not alone, we are, together with the ferocious love that our babies illicit, a very powerful force. A force to be reckoned with if we harness and direct it. Since beginning this book, our country has begun to experience several crises, and the world seems to be ever more tumultuous. For me, that's all the more reason to re-affirm the importance of motherhood, for in that love, that commitment, that joy, are the answers. It simply can't be hopeless when we feel what we feel for our babies, all of us, around the World. We have important work to do, Moms. Our children have a profound and meaningful future to help shape, and we are shaping now who they will become in that inevitable future.…
