A Must-Have for Expecting Parents!

The anticipation of a baby's arrival can be exciting, overwhelming, and even a bit scary. Leave it to Denise and Timothy George's Our Dear Child: Letters to Your Baby on the Way to dispel your fears and provide encouragement for such a significant adjustment. Written to their firstborn over twenty-five years ago and just recently published, the letters brilliantly convey the spectrum of emotions that parents-to-be experience. Infused with humor, wisdom, and insight, these brief musings lead the reader to reflect on their own upbringing, examine their expectations for parenthood, and embrace the enormous changes that accompany the birth of a child. I recommend this delightful book for expecting parents, grandparents, and anyone considering the start of a family. From selecting names to recounting family history, the authors share their lives with their child in a form that can be reread and treasured for generations to come. Encompassing their spiritual beliefs, family values, and dearest memories, the Georges have created a tangible legacy. It will make you laugh, cry, and reflect...and perhaps inspire you to pen letters to your own children.
