Book Description

ISBN-10: 096649993X | ISBN-13: 978-0966499933

This daring and original book tackles the unprecedented subject of a baby's spiritual journey as it prepares to enter this world. A true story as told through conversations between a mother and child during pregnancy.

Throughout the book, the baby's spirit prepares to encounter the challenges of life. Fear, forgiveness, giving and Love are a taste of the subjects the child shares. Along the way we witness a profound bond growing between mother and child, shedding light on the ancient and powerful Mother/Child connection.

A few compelling elements stand out in this book: the deliberation by the baby of whether or not to complete its journey to birth, as well as a look at the spiritual support available during pregnancy and into the birth arena where each spirit is escorted into this life. Without trying, the book pushes each reader toward facing his/her own reasons for entering this life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating story line, December 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cheyenne: Journey to Birth (Paperback)

Throughout the book, we see the 'baby' transform from a clear spirit to one taking on fears of the world. She struggles with many of the same things we 'people types' do but at the same time is able to have such a clear picture of what the struggle is about. We see 'answers' come to mother and child via a guardian angel and as the book professes, there is an angel for all of us to bounce questions off of. It was fascinating to see the 'baby' fight for control of her body - not against someone else but against thoughts. It brings us all to question what are we truly fighting in our own lives. Lastly, a beautiful picture is painted of the doorway leading into and out of life. A very believable presentation of how there is more and we are not alone in this journey.

This review is from: Cheyenne: Journey to Birth (Paperback)

This is the enthralling story of the love between a mother and her child-to-be. Early in her pregnancy, the author experiences communion with the spirit of her child, a spirit full of curiosity and personality. She soon finds herself engaged in a conversation that deeply involves them both. Their conversation unfolds over the months until birth, and covers many profound topics such as how a soul chooses its parents. Mary Grace McManus's gift is her ability to make such an extraordinary experience real. This book is a major contribution to the understanding of Pre-Birth Communication. If you are expecting a child, it will inspire you to tune your inner senses and "listen in." Anyone who is intrigued by life's mysteries will appreciate the fresh voice and original vision in "Cheyenne: Journey to Birth".

5.0 out of 5 stars A honest from the heart tale from an extrordinary woman., July 7, 1999

This review is from: Cheyenne: Journey to Birth (Paperback)

I have always been skeptical about books relating to the unknown, as I was with this book, until I read who the author was. Mary Grace McManus is the one person that could and has made me believe in the pre-birth relationship between mother and child. I have known Mary Grace since 1990 and although I have not had any contact with her in 4 years, I know who and what she is and how she believes. All the emotions that we feel in life "fear, abandonment, denial, sadness, acceptance, happiness, security and love" are also present pre-birth. Mary Grace is a wonderful person who has always delved below the surface to see the good within the soul of everyone. The conversations between Mary Grace and Cheyenne are what all mothers instinctivly know but fail to acknowledge. "Cheyenne Journey to Birth" is a truly insightful book written from the heart of a beautiful soul.
