"Beginning with the desire to have a child and continuing through to the delivery, the book includes advice, experiences, and quips from parents, proverbs, and pundits. There are some unlikely sources here, but George Patton’s words on courage are certainly appropriate in a discussion on labor. Johnston presents a nice balance of inspirational citations and down-to-earth advice.”
-Jane Swanson-Nystrom, Managing Editor, The Covenant Companion
