Birth and the New Birth:
40 Devotions to Discover How Pregnancy and Birth Illustrate Being Born Again
Why does the Bible compare salvation to birth? Jesus referred to salvation as being “born again” when He was teaching Nicodemus. The Lord helps us understand spiritual rebirth by comparing it to physical birth. Conception, pregnancy, labor, childbirth, and the newborn all have parallels in the spiritual transformation of being born again.
This unique Christian devotional explores the truths of this beautiful analogy in 40 devotions. This devotional is a blessing not only to expecting parents but also to others who want a deeper scriptural understanding of the New Birth. Each devotion has a thought of the day to give you inspirations for prayer, spiritual growth, and practical information for childbirth preparation from a Certified Nurse-Midwife. Full-color illustrations make this devotional a lovely keepsake. The softcover and hardcover books also include a space to write your notes and prayers after each devotion.

Begin your journey to motherhood on a firm foundation
“Susan's book should be required reading for every (new) expectant mother and father. Her seamless and seemingly effortless manner of comparing new human life with being re-born spiritually is both profound and comforting. If you have ever wondered how a human being is created, you need only read this book. If you've ever wondered what being re-born in Christ means, you need only pick up Susan's book! Her writing style is warm, gentle and inviting. Her strong Christian beliefs are front and center, thus giving the book a clarity and focus that quickly engages and draws in the reader. If you want to be inspired, and are open to really and truly penetrating the mystery and miracle of new life (from the human and spiritual perspective) this is the book you need to read! Susan's book is a gift to the world and my hope is that the book will find it's way to those people who most need to hear its message.” Adam R., Hospital Chaplain
