Mari Hanes encourages and gives much–needed spiritual direction to expectant women who may struggle with fear, questions, doubts, and concerns. She demonstrates that pregnancy can be a wonderful time of spiritual preparation and joy.

This reassuring and comforting guide dedicates a chapter to each month of pregnancy and also provides both devotional and practical instruction about conception, the stages of labor and delivery, and the experience of caring for a newborn. Thoughtful questions for reflection, a reading list, and a summary of main points are also included.
