New Baby Survival Guide

Short, do-able Bible readings from Psalms for mums with newborns

A new baby is a wonderful gift from the Lord, bringing great joy—but also sleepless nights, constant laundry and, sometimes, total exhaustion. It can be hard to read your Bible and pray.

These bite-sized Bible readings from the book of Psalms are designed for you to dip into and be refreshed by the Lord.

Also includes real-life stories, practical help and an A-Z of mothering.

Our old church gave me this when our oldest was born, and I never read it. I brought it out the next time around, though! Lovely little devotional with the Scripture passage, a few guiding questions, and British humor.

Há livros que parece que nos escolhem. Este é um deles. Li-o durante o puerpério e nas semanas que se seguiram. Uma mão a segurá-lo enquanto no outro braço tinha a minha bebé adormecida. Foi um verdadeiro bálsamo para esse período tão exigente.

A helpful little devotional for tired new Mums. I found the reflections really relevant and helpful as a first time mum to help me continue to connect with God's word.

Before having a baby, I would have thought this kind of thing trite and watered down. But when you're sleep deprived and one handed holding a newborn many hours of the day, these 3-5 minute Scripture readings are perfect. There is a reading for 30 days that includes a few verses from a Psalm with questions, a devotional thought, and a prayer. Perfect for giving new moms the bit of grace they need for each moment.

[Sarah Edwards]

Reading this devotional for the second time. I love the quick, daily installments. It has a few reflection questions each day that return your focus back to the scripture passage.
