Book Description

October 1, 1998
A perfect gift for the new parent. A helpful guide for anyone seeking to re-envision family life. Parenting as a Spiritual Journey explores the transformative spiritual adventure that all parents can experience while bringing up their children.

Parenting as a Spiritual Journey shows, by looking at a typical day's routine, how even the seemingly insignificant moments in a day with your child can be full of spiritual meaning. From waking up in the morning to bedtime at night, there are so many opportunities for parent and child to connect in a spiritual way. Fuchs-Kreimer helps us see those possibilities, revealing how parents can come to recognize, understand and appreciate the joys, insecurities, wonder and awe that can contribute to the spiritual fulfillment of raising children.

Fuchs-Kreimer's interviews with over one hundred parents, plus her own experiences as a mother of two, illuminate the journey we take every day in raising our children. Included are rituals, prayers, and inspiring passages from sacred Jewish texts--as well as from other religious traditions--that are woven throughout this wise, funny and lyrical book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally I am home!, December 12, 2000
By 
mommyjen "mommyjen" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Parenting as a Spiritual Journey (Paperback)
My son is now eight months old. I received this book as a christening gift. I read it at work during my ten to fifteen minute pumping breaks and I ususlly end up crying. Crying not because I am sad - but because the voices of the author and the parents reach out and touch my soul..holding me gently while I fumble my way through these early months. In a world that often feels so isolating the words and stories in this book make me feel part of a larger community. It reminds me of the Mary Oliver poem, Wild Geese, "You don't have to walk on your knees...you just have to love...recognizing your place in the family of things." This book is helping me to feel my place in the family of parents; a family that is both ordinary and extraordinary at the same time.

So often styles of parenting are overly politicized...It makes it hard to listen to that still voice within that guides us better than any book. Rabbi Kreimer has managed to articulate the power that comes when we listen to ourselves and our children. The beauty and transformative power of these stories is precisely in many of the places where we feel so inadequate - our so called weaknesses...Please bless yourself and all the parents and parents-to-be you love with this book - it is, to quote St. Augustine, "soaked through with grace."

5.0 out of 5 stars Our Share of Night Our Share of Morning, November 17, 2000

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Parenting as a Spiritual Journey (Paperback)
This delightful book is written from a spiritual and maternal perspective. It explores parenting in the frame of reference of a single day beginning with the middle-of-the-night feeding of an infant. The story of "one day" has a "parallel theme" of raising children from infancy through adulthood. The author addresses the beauty and joy of daily life as well as illness, loss, and grieving in the context of parenting. I've read the book a number of times and enjoyed it immensely. It would also work well for a discussion group. Her writing is very insightful and provacative. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect book for an expecting/new parent., January 8, 1999
By A Customer
I can't believe this book is out of print! I first read it while I was pregnant with my first child and it transported me. Put away all of your how-to books, cuddle up with this one and let your instincts guide you down the path of good parenting....
