“Redeeming Childbirth” {A Review}

A couple of weeks ago, I was blessed to share my trio's birth story and God's infinite grace and goodness through that experience. I'm here to share with you the wonderful book written by the creator of Redeeming Childbirth, Angie Tolpin, of the same title.


A bit long and sometimes wordy, but entirely worth the read. If you have had children, are pregnant with your first, or hoping on having more, this book is a wonderful resource of how to invite God into your birth, allowing Him to to be your redeemer and experience His redemption through pregnancy, labor and delivery.

Angie touches on every single aspect of pregnancy and delivery in this book, and how God wants to be a part of it for us. How He wants to use our experiences to minister to not only us, but to our families, and all who have a hand in your pregnancy and labor.

Step by step Angie discusses how to prepare during your pregnancy for your delivery, not in the way that most childbirth books do, but in the way we, as Christians, need to....spiritually. She gives extensive examples, testimonies, and full resources on just how to begin.

Open minded and open hearted for all "styles" of childbirth, however, Angie's heart is for natural childbirth. She discusses, quite tactfully, how even in different and sometimes unexpected scenarios, God can still be present, redeeming all for His glory. 

Don't lose hope. Don't fear childbirth. It can be glorious, regardless of the how, by asking the Lord to be a part of it.

"But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
2 Corinthians 12:9
