Redeeming Childbirth : Experiencing His Presence in Pregnancy, Labor, Childbirth, and Beyond

by Angie Tolpin

Childbirth is more than an event that makes a woman a mother. This journey was designed to be a spiritual milestone that draws every woman’s heart back to the only Deliverer.

“Angie Tolpin has honored all of us by giving the world a book that guides, inspires, explores and reconsiders that there is a Grand Design in childbirth. Redeeming Childbirth honors God’s Word and speaks truth that families can and should remember His presence in the birth room.”
~Barbara Harper, RN, CLD, CCE, Founder of Waterbirth International and author of Gentle Birth Choices

“Angie casts a beautiful vision for making Christ the center of your pregnancy and childbirth. Shedding light on areas of frequent idolatry in our own birth plans, Angie calls out the disunity amongst Christian sisters over birth methods. Through her own birth stories and those of others, Angie shows how God can be glorified in hospital rooms and birthing centers as well as home-births.
~Gretchen Louise, editor at Young Ladies Christian Fellowship

“Redeeming Childbirth is a much-needed blessing for families and churches. I long for the day when I can buy a stack of this book, ready to bless each new expectant mother with what she really encouragement from a sweet friend, spiritual wisdom, and guidance to trust in God.“
~Ann Dunagan, Co-founder of Harvest Ministry, Director of Daring Daughters, Author of The Mission Minded Family and The Mission Minded Child

My first book, “Redeeming Childbirth” released in Jan of 2013, RedeemingChildbirth.com launched in Oct. 2012! I write at Leaving A Legacy to encourage and inspire parents to embrace the role of leadership they have in raising up the next generation.

[Kelly · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book challenged me to see God in my birth experience. To see redemption and deliverance in a whole new way. The author is straightforward in her approach, which could bother some, but I think it is needed in our society today. Deep conviction and an ability to speak truth are rare. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the chapters weren't always laid out accurately. It did feel like the author repeated herself often. But overall it was a helpful book in preparation for the delivery of my baby.

Poorly edited, to the point where it's a headache to get through some sentances. The overall message is good, and it had helpful info on what a medicated birth does to the body and baby during and after labor.

4.5 stars ⭐️

Not in complete agreement with absolutely everything but overall a net positive and net encouragement. I wish I had read in my first pregnancy!

Medically dangerous and unbiblical teaching
