Birthing Naturally Books
Ministering with Birthing Naturally
Whether your childbirth ministry is your main source of income, a part-time job or a service to your community, the right tools can help you successfully reach the families in your region. Birthing Naturally wants to help you find those right tools. Each of the books published through Birthing Naturally can serve a different purpose in your ministry because each book is written for a different purpose and with a different focus.
The Lord of Birth is a Bible study, intended to be used by families familiar with digging into the Bible to challenge themselves. Readers are encouraged to apply the principles of Christianity to their pregnancy and birth, drawing them closer to God. The downloadable leaders guide with additional discussion questions makes this book ideal for use in small groups or for one on one discipleship.
40 Weeks is a devotional, providing Biblical encouragement and information about the progress of pregnancy. Each week includes the changes happening in mother and baby, a short devotional and a prayer guide to help families build the habit of praying for their new child. A short section on staying healthy during pregnancy and ways to manage common discomforts round out this volume to make it a great gift.
The Christian Childbirth Handbook is a complete childbirth education course in a book. Equally useful for the family who can only meet with you once or twice and the family who commits to an eight week childbirth education course. Readings are broken into Subjects and Topics so families can be assigned specific content to cover before your next meeting. Review activities at the end of each subject allow families to consider what they are learning and apply it to themselves.
For professionals who want (or need) a little more structure to design a Christian childbirth education program, Birthing Naturally is preparing the Christian Childbirth Workbook. The Workbook is designed to be used by clients in private or group classes. With charts, activities and full of handouts every childbirth professional will find tools they can use. An instructors copy will be available with a multimedia DVD containing a digital copy of the workbook, individual handouts, teaching guides and outlines, digital slide show and marketing materials. Anticipated publication is January 2010. For more information about the workbook please contact Tammy Ryan.
If you are just beginning your career as a childbirth professional, Birthing Naturally recommends training and certification with a national organization. If you are already a childbirth professional and would like to learn ways to incorporate Christian childbirth into the services you offer, Tammy Ryan of Baby Matters is offering a four hour seminar on just that topic. During the seminar she explains ways to use the Christian Childbirth Workbook and other materials available.
