Alone with the crib, the clothes, and the car seat, you've acquired a shelf-full of books. They tell you what to feed your child, how to get your child to sleep, and even how to raise your child to be a responsible and ethical adult. Yet each day spent as a family brings new challenges, questions, and wonder at the task of parenting. Our Share of Night, Our Share of Morning, like parenting, is filled with everyday moments that evoke laughs, smiles, a lump in the throat - and eye-opening perspectives on life, love, and spirituality. At once wise, funny, lyrical, and down-to-earth, Nancy Fuchs explores the transformative spiritual adventure that parents experience while bringing up their children. Through the lives of the many parents she interviews, Fuchs explores how children provide a crash course in love, grace, forgiveness, and mystery. Beautifully written, Our Share of Night, Our Share of Morning is about how parenting opens us up to a much experienced but little talked about spiritual journey; it is about elation and exhaustion, wonderment and wondering, and the discovery that parenting is a spiritual path that "raises" the souls of both parent and child in often unexpected ways.

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.
