4.0 out of 5 stars Trusting in God's protection in childbirth, April 28, 2000

By 

Natalie Bias, CCE (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Christian Womans GT Childbirth (Paperback)

The Christian Woman's Guide to Childbirth is a great resource for scriptures regarding pregnancy, birth and beyond. Mrs. Evans provides the reader with plenty of proof that God is indeed in control of the birthing process. Her descriptions of the labor process are super. She gives many insights into the physical and emotional feelings of labor and how to deal with them in a biblical manner. Her commentary on the Fall of man and pain in childbirth is wonderful. I gained much from her wisdom regarding women allowing the toils of labor to bring them closer to God and to change our views of labor from punishment to opportunity for spiritual growth. Her chapter on nutrition left much to be desired, however; as did her comments on possible complications of labor and birth. Her answer to almost any variation of normal seems to be surgical birth rather than working hard at solving the problem. Her list of women at risk for complications and c-section is too inclusive as almost every woman could manage to fit into it. Over all the book is a wealth of scripture and hope. I would use it in my classes to share Christ centered birth with my students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Pregnancy Book So Far!, March 19, 2002

By 

Lesli Richards (Lake Forest, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Christian Womans GT Childbirth (Paperback)

My husband and I are expecting our 3rd baby in November, and have read just about every pregnancy book on the market. This is our favorite for several reasons. First, it emphasises the spiritual aspect of birth. For a woman to partner with God for that one little creation momemt is so spectacular, yet we tend to think of it as more of a medical condition. Having myself refocused on that created such a fantasitc birth for my son. My husband liked this book the best because it gave such specific ways for the husband to help, rather than just saying "be supportive". He liked the way the book said "If this doesn't work, try this, etc. If nothing works, sit down next to her and pray for her." It made him feel much less helpless when I was uncomfortable. This was hands down the most practical, easy to use book I have read on Labor. It will go to the hospital with me in November for the 3rd time!

By 

Connie Banack (Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Christian Womans GT Childbirth (Paperback)

I am a certified childbirth educator who teaches Christian childbirth classes. This is the book that is the basis of my curriculum. Not only does it contain the information expecting families need, the biblical references are excellent. I highly recommend this book for every pregnant Christian family!
