5.0 out of 5 stars Guide for a very important journey, September 28, 2001

This review is from: New Psalms for New Moms: A Keepsake Journal (Hardcover)

I bought this book for a baby shower gift for a friend. When I received it, I was really surprised at the quality of the book. It has a ribbon bookmark, a very attractive cover, and beautiful pages with illustrations and quotes. Though it's a thought-provoking journal with plenty of room for the new mom to write about her experiences, dreams, and concerns, it also has a surprising amount of substance. Linda Ann Olson has written about motherhood and God's plan for a woman and her child in a touching way that isn't over-sentimental. What a lovely gift, and I'm thrilled to send it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful keepsake, September 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: New Psalms for New Moms: A Keepsake Journal (Hardcover)

I love this journal and I am sure my one-year-old daughter will love it also when she is old enough to read it. It is a must have for every mother. I want her to know how important God is in her life, and how much she brings into my life. This journal lets you provide both.

5.0 out of 5 stars A spiritual and practical gift, February 7, 2001

This review is from: New Psalms for New Moms: A Keepsake Journal (Hardcover)

This Keepsake Journal is a spiritual gift to women who are expecting new life, and to all who cherish the miracle of life. I was very moved by the author's honesty, acknowledging the fears and doubts that pregnancy can present us with: "Why do I feel so bad--when our news is so good?" One of the deepest reflections in this book is found in "My Prayer for the World's Children." Here, Mrs. Olson writes beautifully about how the love that parents feel for their own children extends to all of the world's children, and unites parents in creating a better world for all. This book combines great writing and reflection--and well-chosen Scripture quotes--with an interactive quality. It provides space in which the reader can write down her own thoughts and concerns, offering an opportunity for catharsis. It also gives the reader a means to create a lasting momento. This is a gem! I recommend it highly. It is a perfect gift, and I will give it as often as I can.
