Synopsis Birth Passages by : Theresa M. Krier
Birth Passages offers a provocative and eloquent challenge to the nostalgia for the maternal, sometimes influenced by classic Freudian theory, which pervades many discourses. Theresa M. Krier suggests an alternative to the common characterizations of "the maternal" as a force inspiring both desire and dread, a force that must be repressed if subjectivity and culture are to be established. Instead, drawing on the work of Melanie Klein, D. W. Winnicott, and Luce Irigaray, Krier seeks to establish a new model of the relationship between mother and infant, one in which birth is seen not as the tragic ending to the prenatal union but rather as the child's claiming both distance from and proximity to this parent. Krier's insightful readings of poetic works from antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance show these texts in opposition to their cultures' insistent nostalgia for the maternal. Their authors, she maintains, recognize such longing as a symptom of a glamorous but false and disabling fantasy. In her analysis of the Song of Songs, Lucretius's De rerum natura, Chaucer's Parlement of Foules, Spenser's Amoretti and Faerie Queene, and Shakespeare's Love's Labor's Lost and The Winter's Tale, Krier details how the writings represent the intersubjective nature of birth.

Synopsis Made for This by : Mary Haseltine
Millions of women have felt the power of birth, and countless women long for it. But for too many, birth can seem like a purely clinical experience — something to get through as quickly as possible in order to get on with the joys of being a mother. In Made for This, author Mary Haseltine draws on Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body to show that birth is an essential part of who God created women to be, body and soul. With real-life stories from many moms and practical tips — including preparing for birth, making informed choices, helping fathers embrace their role in the birth room, and encountering the work of labor — this book is an indispensable guide for navigating the physical and spiritual dimensions of pregnancy and birth. Expectant mothers will find the tools they need to approach birth as a gift, and to invite God into the experience. About the Author Mary Haseltine is a theology graduate and a certified birth doula and childbirth educator. With a passion for building a culture of life through the teachings of the Theology of the Body, she works to bring an awareness and practice of the teachings of the Church into the realm of childbirth, mothering, and pregnancy loss. She lives in Western New York with her husband and five sons. You can find more of her writing at www.betterthaneden.com.

Synopsis Missional Motherhood by : Gloria Furman
There's no such thing as “just” a mom. Despite the routine tasks and mundane to-do lists, motherhood is anything but insignificant. God has designed motherhood as part of his greater plan to draw people to himself—instilling all women, whether called to traditional mothering or not, with an eternal purpose in nurturing others. In this book, Gloria Furman searches the Scriptures for the mission of God in motherhood. She opens our eyes to God's life-giving promises—promises intended to empower each and every woman as she makes disciples in her home, in her neighborhood, and around the world.

Synopsis The Trouble with Being Born by : E. M. Cioran
In this volume, which reaffirms the uncompromising brilliance of his mind, Cioran strips the human condition down to its most basic components, birth and death, suggesting that disaster lies not in the prospect of death but in the fact of birth, "that laughable accident." In the lucid, aphoristic style that characterizes his work, Cioran writes of time and death, God and religion, suicide and suffering, and the temptation to silence. Through sharp observation and patient contemplation, Cioran cuts to the heart of the human experience. “A love of Cioran creates an urge to press his writing into someone’s hand, and is followed by an equal urge to pull it away as poison.”—The New Yorker “In the company of Nietzsche and Kierkegaard."—Publishers Weekly "No modern writer twists the knife with Cioran's dexterity. . . . His writing . . . is informed with the bitterness of genuine compassion."—Boston Phoenix

Synopsis The New Birth by : G. K. Karimkhani ThD
Dear Friend, As you see God commands all children of Adam to be born again. There is no mention of any type or any kind of religion or doing any work but to believe on the Lord Jesus and to die to yourself and to let the great Jehovah of Israel, the Lord Jesus to give you LIFE and to make you His own Holy Temple. To believe on the Lord Jesus and to trust Him and His works as the propitiation for your sins is called faith and that faith is not from the dead corpse but given to you by the LIFE giving Holy Spirit of God Himself, the Comforter. The Lord assures us that when the Comforter comes, He will inform us of the Truth (the Lord Jesus). The fact is that the New Birth that is in the Lord Jesus has nothing to do with religions, and the religions have nothing to do with it either. It is the wonder of wonder that the New Birth in the Lord Jesus has been shuffled in with the religions of this sin infected terminal world. Christianity is all Christ and only Him and no longer the dead corpse of the child of Adam doing religion. However, it is called a religion to deceive the children of Adam. The Satan says: all religions are from God and He gave them to us. We need to respect all religions because they are from God and they all lead to Him. Choose any of the religions you want and they are all as good as the other. God knows our needs and differences and that is why he gave all kinds of religions. Coexist in love and respect with the believers of the other religions for they are all from God. But which God? The god or gods of this mortal hog-pen or the Great Jehovah of Israel, the Lord Jesus.
