Women are valued for their ability to bear children in many
cultures. The birth process, though supposedly the most painful
experience of a woman's life, is seen as a necessary evil to
achieve the end goal of children and motherhood. And yet, in the
face of a typically masculinized Christianity that nevertheless
professes that women are equally created in the image of God,
shouldn't childbirth--a uniquely feminine experience--itself shape
Christian women's souls and teach them about the heart of the God
they love and follow? Drawing on her own experience of giving birth
and motherhood--and the conflicting assumptions attached to them,
by Christians and the culture at large--Aubry G. Smith presents a
richly scriptural exploration of common conceptions about pregnancy
and childbirth that will not only help mothers and soon-to-be
mothers understand how to think biblically about birth, but also
walks them through how to put the ideas into practice in their own
lives. Along the way, she shows all readers how to see God's own
experience of the birth process--and how childbirth leads to a
deeper understanding of the gospel overall.
