Download and read online ebook Birthed in Prayer write by Kim Barker. This book was released on 2016-03-01. Birthed in Prayer available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A hopeful, grace-filled companion for the 9 months of pregnancy, Birthed in Prayer uniquely addresses and supports the spiritual journey of mothers-to-be. As the authors/moms say, it's the book they longed to read but never found while they were pregnant. Filled with lively, thoughtful, honest and "been-there" stories, this book deals with not only the emotional and physical facets of this overwhelming life experience but also the spiritual needs. "From the moment you know you're pregnant, you enter a time of transition—a time of waiting and preparing as you anticipate the arrival of the new little person who will share your life. ...Pregnancy can be a God-given "stopping point"—an opportunity to reflect on our lives, values, and relationships; to reevaluate our choices and priorities; and to make some adjustments," write authors Barker, de Meillon, and Harrison. "Even more importantly, pregnancy can offer an occasion to draw closer to God and encounter God in a new way." Each chapter includes honest, humorous, and touching stories; questions to think about; journaling prompts; and prayer exercises. Birthed in Prayer gives you a safe place to acknowledge your thoughts and feelings as you read wisdom from scripture and stories from mother-sages. It focuses not just on preparing for childbirth but also motherhood. The authors invite you on a journey of awareness and growth that will build a strong foundation for your life and your family. As Barker, de Meillon, and Harrison say, it takes courage to become aware, to encounter and be encountered by God. And it takes courage to be a mother.

Expectant mothers will find the tools they need to approach birth as a gift, and to invite God into the experience.
