An illustrated collection of prayers about the joys and sorrows of pregnancy and birth, written by Christian men and women. From the moment of conception, and as pregnancy proceeds to birth, there is prayer for every step of the way:- at times of greatest joy; if things are very difficult; or even when pregnancy goes tragically wrong. These prayers can make a valuable insight into the complex and often conflicting feelings that are associated with pregnancy and birth, ranging from positive feelings of thankfulness, joy or relief, to negative feelings of anxiety, anger or grief. Each group of prayers is introduced by a suitable Biblical text. This unique collection of prayers represents the faith and hope of ordinary Christians of all denominations and from all parts of Britain and Ireland. Recommended to Christian families, clergy and all those concerned with pregnancy.
