Before You Were Born I Knew You: Praying for Your Pregnancy, Birth, and Baby

Before You Were Born is the product of a passion. Before I was married I didn’t pay any attention to the motherhood process. I planned to just “do what the doctor tells me”. But when I became pregnant (and after many weeks of research), I became more and more drawn to the natural birthing community, where the women acted more or less like a family. They supported one another, believed in empowering women to embrace their abilities, and celebrated birth with an unparalleled joy. But as much as I loved their attitude, I often found New Age philosophies integrated throughout the content shared and couldn’t reconcile these with my Christian worldview. I wanted the supportive environment and natural approach – but from a Christian perspective.Through a Christian birthing seminar, a few great books, and a desperate need for God’s support, I began praying specifically, fervently, and boldly over my birth and baby. As I did so, I saw myself changed from the inside out. I saw it affect my entire life and my marriage. And I saw it give me the birth for which I’d hoped.This book is a culmination of my pregnancies, and I hope, a blessing to you.
