The Glory to be Revealed in You: A Spiritual Companion to Pregnancy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780979537660)

Pregnancy is a time of preparation and reflection for many women. The advent of a new life can also be an "advent" of new life in the Spirit, for both mother and father. The Glory to be Revealed in You is a reflection on faith and motherhood, searching out the special graces God gives through His creative power. It explores the faith found in Christian motherhood and discipleship. The springboard for this discussion is I Timothy 2:15: "But she will be saved through childbearing if she perseveres in faith, love, and holiness with self-control."

Though written primarily for the expectant mother, many others will find insight and inspiration in this spiritual companion. It offers support and encouragement to the reader, using the Bible and the writings of many spiritual mentors in the Catholic Church. The book will help couples to discover the spiritual fruitfulness of pregnancy. The Virgin Mary spent nine months anticipating the birth of her divine Son. With her, pregnant women everywhere also magnify the Lord and give thanks to God their Savior as they await in joy the glory to be revealed in them. (Romans 8:18)
