Library Journal - Best Books of 2018 "To bring anything new into
the world is to open one's self and therefore to take on risk, to
contaminate oneself with the other, to be made vulnerable. This
requires not just courage but many things, among them faith, hope,
help, companionship, grace-in a word, love." While living in one of
the world's most impoverished countries, Rachel Marie Stone
unexpectedly caught a baby without wearing gloves, drenching her
bare hands with HIV-positive blood. Already worried about her
health and family, Stone grappled anew with realities of human
suffering, global justice, and maternal health. In these
reflections on the mysteries of life and death, Stone unpacks how
childbirth reveals our anxieties, our physicality, our mortality.
Yet birth is a profoundly hopeful act of faith, as new life is
brought into a hurting world that groans for redemption. God
becomes present to us as a mother who consents to the risk of love
and lets us make our own way in the world, as every good mother
must do.
