This is not just another book of devotions. It was written especially for new parents. It is meant to be a resource for the first month of parenthood and was designed to be read before baby arrives and kept handy afterward. It would make a great baby shower gift. The practical tips and prayers make it a gift that even the non-religious new parent would appreciate. The author, Anita Schweppe, is a mother of two adult children and grandmother of a toddler and a preschooler. She has a heart for new parents and remembers what being sleep-deprived feels like.
