Description
I thought having a baby would complete me. I was wrong. I believed I'd be a great parent and a natural 'mum'. I wasn't. I thought I'd know what to do. I didn't. What happens when two become three? When sleep is a myth? When friends used to see you - but now see your baby? Is your identity lost in motherhood? Does your brain still work? 'In those early years I could barely follow an episode of Peppa Pig,' says Anne, 'let alone pick up a Bible.' This book helps you make wise decisions over your children. It addresses the challenges of parenthood - for instance, should you return to work? Anne uses examples from her own struggle, together with biblical insights and other people's experiences, to help you know you are not alone. A droll and insightful companion for all who wrestle with parenthood. Anne Calver is a Baptist minister.
Navigating (with Jesus) the changes that hit you when you bring a child into the western world.

I wish Dianne and I had access to this book in the early years! * Rob Parsons, Care for the Family *
I wish I could have read this book when I was a new mum trying to come to terms with what it means to be a 'good' mother in the 21st century. Being amongst the first generations pioneering parenting in a society that not only accepts, but expects, women to be in the workplace means that navigating the expectations, choices and emotions involved is not easy or straightforward. Reading Baby Change will assure you that you are not alone in these challenges, and most importantly, will help you to draw on the wisdom and grace of our Heavenly Father to lead you through. * Becky Harcourt *
