Book Description

September 9, 2008
Longing for a life with purpose? This book is for you! Babysitting for God is a collection of riveting stories that bring you face-to-face with the fascinating journey that foster children go through. It will uplift and encourage you as you witness the unyielding determination of abused children, the unmatched power of prayer, and the awesome way God reveals himself, comforts, and blesses these children as He changes their lives in amazing ways. The joy will definitely inspire you as you read captivating stories loaded with both scripture and quotes containing powerful messages of love, hope and healing. The exploration and personal accounts of this devoted foster family will leave your questions answered, compel you to trust what God can do when you have the courage to pray, and awaken you to the realization that through the spirit of service, we all have the ability to make an unbelievably significant difference. Growing up, all author Heidi McLain wanted to be was a Mom. She attended graduate school and became a chiropractor and clinical nutritionist more than 20 years ago, but much prefers the title of "Mom" over "doctor." Known for her saying, 'Thank God for God,' Heidi serves Him in what she describes as her most profound and rewarding calling yet: giving and devoting her time and energy to being a foster parent. Having cared for hundreds of children (including over 80 babies!) over the past 10 years, Heidi's family has helped many of them to experience God's love. Being given nicknames like "Wonder Woman" and "the Baby Whisperer," Heidi delights in being part of the foster care community and sharing her experiences, triumphs and defeats with others, hoping to bring them encouragement and inspiration. Heidi has four children: Amanda, Christopher, Bradley and Anna, and lives with her family in San Diego, California.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eyewitness, October 2, 2008
This review is from: Babysitting For God (Paperback)
I know Heidi McClain personally and I can tell you she is an amazing person. Her servant's heart for children--especially for foster children--is enormous and her unwavering faith in God is truly inspirational. Jesus said; "as you do for the least of these so you also do for me". Heidi lives that everyday.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book, by awesome lady, October 13, 2008
This review is from: Babysitting For God (Paperback)
I have read this book, and am deeply moved by the stories it contains. I laugh, and cry, I pray, and read more. Heidi TRULY has a heart for the "least of these" ... and this book opens my heart to the possibility (and HOPE) of me doing more in MY world to make a difference. Thank you, Heidi, and God bless you SO much! Thank you for the gift of this book! Ü

This review is from: Babysitting For God (Paperback)
This book describes various foster children this single Mom/author has helped. It is very heart-warming and hopefully inspires some people to take in foster children. I've met Heidi, and she is very sincere and loving.
