Children are a blessing from Heaven. From the moment that a woman learns that she is with child it is as though she has been granted a great and wondrous miracle from above. For nine months mother and child share the same body; this period of maternal bonding seals their eternal love, which nothing can break.

Miracles of Motherhood: Prayers and Poems for a New Mother is divided into seven chapters. The first is entitled pregnancy and delivers all the excitement of knowing that a new life has been created. The second section is called birth; it centers on the first few moments when mother and child's eyes first meet. It is as though time stands still as love freely flows between the pair. The other five chapters place emphasis on all phases of the new bundle of joy's life. These sections include the new baby, babyhood, toddlerhood, christenings, reflections, and inspirations. Each one of these pages offers its own award winning words that will be sure to inspire and touch any reader's heart.
