Waiting in Wonder by Catherine Claire Larson

A devotional journal inviting women to embrace the spiritualjourney that awaits as they prepare for the high and holy calling of motherhood.

Expecting ababy is a time of unfolding wonders--from the jolt of first heartbeat, to thebuds of tiny fingers, to the flutter of little kicks. During pregnancy, amother's body nourishes this quiet miracle's development. But through thetrials of morning sickness, the anticipation of labor, and the questions ofwhether she'll be a good mother, she'll need her own nourishment--both physicalas well as spiritual. She'll want to nurture her own heart so that she may oneday strengthen the spiritual life of this child entrusted to her.

Waiting in Wonder guides readers through the weeks ofpregnancy with devotions designed to encourage, strengthen, and inspire. Each devotionincludes Scripture and journaling space for writing personal thoughts, prayers, dreams, even love letters to the growing baby. And when baby is born, motherwill hold a lifelong keepsake for rereading and reliving a truly wonder-filledtime of physical change and spiritual growth.
