5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, comprehensive, and beautifully written, October 14, 2000
By Shawn E. Marshall (Mill Valley, CA United States) - See all my reviews
My husband and I have read a number of books to help us fully understand what it means to be a future parent and what we can do to prepare for a successful and healthy conception. Dr. Rosen's book offered us an incredibly comprehensive view of the issues -- everything from practical tips on nutrition and lifestyle to explorations of the emotional links to your future child's soul. You'll find pearls of wisdom in this book that your own parents probably never even considered! It's well written, easy to follow, and the questions at the end of each chapter allow you to tailor the information to suit your unique needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ FOR EVERY PARENT TO BE!, February 9, 2008
Everyone who is considering starting a family should read this book. It is incredicble how your childs spirit selects you! You can prepare years ahead for your the arrival of your child and integrate this new member into your family with a higher sense of ease. I would also recommend it to anyone that has a young child. It will help you understand the dynamic of what our job really is as a parent. My husband and I do not have a child but this book is helping us to prepare and be the best parents we can be when we are ready. . .
