A Radiant Birth by Leslie Leyland Fields,Paul J. Willis Pdf

"In Advent we prepare for the coming of all Love." —Madeleine L'Engle "At the birth of Jesus, an event of cosmic significance by which we humans still mark our calendars, the invisible and visible worlds come together." —Philip Yancey "Help us to realize, as those who love and believe in you that we, too, are pregnant with Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, and that day by day we are being enlarged." —Luci Shaw The first Christmas sermon preserved in church history was preached by St. John Chrysostom in AD 386, in which he declared, "Behold a new and wonderful mystery!" In this volume, the Christian literary writers of the Chrysostom Society reflect on Advent and Christmastide as a bright and meaningful season of anticipation and glory. Through forty-two readings from the first Sunday of Advent through Epiphany, contributors prepare us in watchful waiting for the coming of Jesus. We enter slowly so that the familiar can astonish us and become wondrous once again. Jesus is born in Bethlehem. But not only there. He is also born in us, that we might bear his presence and impart his goodness to the world.

The Kind Mama by Alicia Silverstone Pdf

The bestselling author of The Kind Diet offers practical solutions for a healthier, more vibrant approach to new motherhood When did making babies get to be so hard? Infertility is on the rise globally, affecting as many as one in six couples. But instead of looking at diet and lifestyle as key factors, doctors are racing to pump their patients full of expensive and invasive fertility treatments. Once pregnant, women just accept that carrying a baby will be the gassy, swollen, irritable, sleepless nightmare that has become the new normal. Once their babies are born, they assume it will be just as challenging—from breastfeeding woes to screaming fits and constant trips to the doctor. It doesn’t have to be that way. In The Kind Mama, Alicia Silverstone shows that if we kick nasty foods that fight our bodies and replace them with nutrient-rocking “clean” foods that heal and nourish, we can create a more positive baby-making experience, from conception through the third trimester (and beyond). By encouraging basic diet and lifestyle modifications and drawing on wisdom from medical experts, friends, and her own experience, Silverstone has created a one-stop guide that empowers women to take charge of their fertility and pregnancy, and helps them to embark on a healthier, more vibrant path to parenthood.

Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering by Sarah Buckley Pdf

An authoritative guide to natural childbirth and postpartum parenting options from an MD who home-birthed her own four children. Sarah Buckley might be called a third-wave natural birth advocate. A doctor and a mother, she approaches the question of how a woman and baby might have the most fulfilling birth experience with respect for the wisdom of both medical science and the human body. Using current medical and epidemiological research plus women's experiences (including her own), she demonstrates that what she calls "undisturbed birth" is almost always healthier and safer than high-technology approaches to birth. Her wise counsel on issues like breastfeeding and sleeping during postpartum helps extend the gentle birth experience into a gentle parenting relationship.

Radiant Fugitives by Nawaaz Ahmed Pdf

FINALIST FOR THE 2022 PEN/FAULKNER AWARD FOR FICTION FINALIST FOR PUBLISHING TRIANGLE'S EDMUND WHITE DEBUT FICTION AWARD In the last weeks of her pregnancy, a Muslim Indian lesbian living in San Francisco receives a visit from her estranged mother and sister that surfaces long held secrets and betrayals in this "sweeping family saga . . . with the beautiful specificity of real lives lived, loved, and fought for" (Entertainment Weekly) Working as a consultant for Kamala Harris’s attorney general campaign in Obama-era San Francisco, Seema has constructed a successful life for herself in the West, despite still struggling with her father’s long-ago decision to exile her from the family after she came out as lesbian. Now, nine months pregnant and estranged from the Black father of her unborn son, Seema seeks solace in the company of those she once thought lost to her: her ailing mother, Nafeesa, traveling alone to California from Chennai, and her devoutly religious sister, Tahera, a doctor living in Texas with her husband and children. But instead of a joyful reconciliation anticipating the birth of a child, the events of this fateful week unearth years of betrayal, misunderstanding, and complicated layers of love—a tapestry of emotions as riveting and disparate as the era itself. Told from the point of view of Seema’s child at the moment of his birth, and infused with the poetry of Wordsworth and Keats and verses from the Quran, Radiant Fugitives is a moving tale of a family and a country grappling with acceptance, forgiveness, and enduring love.

Pearls of Sacred Birthing by Sunni Karll Pdf

"Pearls" is an introduction to all of Sacred Birthing. These are the gems that take you on your journey to your baby's 'Softbirth.' What do we need most in pregnancy? We need to dream who it is hiding in there, and who this little one is asking to become. We need to grow our love for this teeny being, and learn more of who we are as we take care of him. We need to know that no matter what, our body knows exactly what to do to grow and birth and nurture this beloved one. We need to remember that we already know everything, if we just stop, and go inside. As we let go of the medical, the warnings, the doubts, and the self-doubts, we step into trusting our self. This is the book that I wish I had received when I was first pregnant! It's the perfect Baby Shower Gift or BlessingWay Gift, but even better, the perfect Conception Gift for your best friend. Let it inspire you to ask yourself deep questions about your baby's birth. From "Pearls": "The babies I helped with taught me that babies are far more than just the tiny body they present visually. They taught me about the consciousness that enlivens the body. If our desire is to give birth to a radiant being, it means that the whole baby asks to be addressed. It is not enough to simply receive the baby's physical body at birth, and not respect the feeling nature and the spiritual being. A baby's physical body is best received into gentle soft hands, imposing nothing to make a baby cry. The emotional feeling nature of a baby is supported when a baby is received with love, trust and respect. The spiritual body of the baby has needs too, that ask to be supported. When the act of giving birth takes spiritual needs into consideration, then baby's life is lived at a higher octave. Thus, a baby chooses a gentle birth to attain his full entitlement of light." And, "What is our true purpose when we consciously ask to conceive? Why do we do our very best for our baby during pregnancy? Why are we concerned about protecting our baby from any trauma at birth? Our intention is that our baby is not wounded, for it is not possible for a baby to be in the mode of openness and growth, when in the mode of defensiveness and protection. Thus, a baby always chooses a gentle birth to retain his full entitlement of light."
