Labor with Hope

Gospel Meditations on Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood

De: Gloria Furman, Jesse Scheumann

Narrado por: Sarah Zimmerman

The world is filled with mixed messages about pregnancy. Popular books and well-meaning family and friends offer you unsolicited advice about what to expect and how to stay healthy - sometimes resulting in joy and excitement but other times leading to discouragement and fear.

The Bible, too, has a lot to say about childbirth - offering real hope that nothing in this world can match. In Labor with Hope, Gloria Furman helps you see pregnancy, infertility, miscarriage, birth pain, and new life in the framework of the larger biblical narrative, infusing cosmic meaning into your personal experience by exploring how they point to eternal realities.

You will see that only Christ can provide the strength they desperately need in order to truly labor with hope.

This was meditative and wonderful

I love how much scripture is used.
It’s definitely biblically sound because it all points to Jesus.

Really enjoyed!

I really enjoyed the audiobook. I think that if I wanted to revisit it, I would read it. Really enjoyed how she interwove the creation narrative, the birthing metaphor, and the actually the process of labor it was very insightful, and filled with hope. 

Amazing but be mindful of triggers like death & loss

I truly enjoyed this book but would wish there was a disclaimer about fetus and/or maternal death mentioned about 2-3 times in the book

perspective changer

This book helped me have more confidence in Christ as I wait in expectation for my upcoming labor/delivery of my son. I learned how childbirth reflects God!

Gospel centered

Biblically sound Beautiful book! Gospel truth every mom needs to hear! Definitely worth listening to!
