Pregnancy and childbirth are not to be feared; they are divinely appointed processes that can be joyful, spiritual, and bring families closer to God. The Gift of Giving Life: Rediscovering the Divine Nature of Pregnancy and Birth offers something that no other pregnancy book has before–a spiritual look at pregnancy and birth by and for LDS women and other women of faith. Through moving stories women in the scriptures, women from early Latter-day Saint history, and dozens of modern mothers, The Gift of Giving Life assures readers that God cares deeply about the entire procreative process.
The Gift of Giving Life does not advocate for any one type of birth or approach to prenatal care, rather it intends to unify our families and communities in regard to the sacredness of birth. We also aim to provide you with resources, information, and inspiration that you may not have had access to all in one place before.
Topics covered include: constant nourishment, meditation, fear, pain, healing from loss, the physical and spiritual ties between the Atonement and childbirth, the role of the Relief Society in postpartum recovery and more. Birthing women, birth attendants, childbirth educators, and interested readers of all faiths are invited to rediscover within these pages the divinity and gift of giving life.

Walking With the Women of the Book of Mormon

Cedar Fort. Inc.

Have you noticed how in the scriptures men are always going into the mountains to commune with God? Yet, in those same scriptures, we hardly ever read of women going there. Women's lives were (and still are) full of responsibilities for sustaining life. Because of this, it was difficult--if not impossible--for them to leave their families to commune with God.Instead, God often came to women where they were, when they were doing their ordinary, everyday work. He met them at the wells where they drew water for their families. He conversed with them in their homes, kitchens, and gardens. He visited them as they sat beside sickbeds, gave birth, cared for the elderly, and performed necessary mourning and burial rites. In these seemingly mundane and ordinary tasks required to sustain life, women found themselves face to face with divinity.Join scholars Heather Farrell and Jen Maybray as they take you on a tour of the scriptures to discover how God visited and spoke to women anciently. Learn from them how He still visits and speaks to women today, and be willing to open your eyes and heart to see God in your life, even in the most ordinary, mundane places and in the most remarkable ways!
