"Beautifully honest, wonderfully filled with truth and brilliantly challenging."

Sadly, it’s not unusual for some parenting books to make new parents feel more rather than less anxious! They can leave us feeling that if only we were doing x, y and z, or trying a bit harder, our baby would be sleeping through the night, or feeding better...or already speaking French.

This book is different.

It recognises that parenting is just about the most costly, challenging and courageous voyage we will ever embark on as adults. But it comfortingly unpacks what parenting looks like when we partner with God. From a firmly anchored biblical stance, mother of four, Ems Hancock, offers a real, light-hearted, thought-provoking look at godly parenting to help you navigate the world of raising your babies.

“Every new parent needs to read this book, which contains practical and realistic advice about parenting. Ems brings a wealth of experience and biblical wisdom to help you become the parent your children need.”

–Louise Hughes, Consultant Obstetrician and Co-founder of the “Begin Well” Antenatal Course

“This book is beautifully honest, wonderfully filled with truth and brilliantly challenging. I wished I had read it before I became a dad! I recommend it to you whether you are thinking of being a parent, becoming a parent, or already a parent.”

–Rick Otto, Head of New Wine Kids Ministry
