Praying for Your Unborn Child

Library Journal

$12.95. rel A former Dominican priest and author of Healing (1974), MacNutt and his wife Judith now run an Episcopalian healing center. Convinced that the spiritual/emotional climate of the pre-natal period is crucial to later growth and that widespread prayer for the unborn could usher in ``a gentle revolution'' of love and security, they offer thoughts on prayer before conception, during the three trimesters, and at birth itself, with a special chapter encouraging fathers. Appendixes include reflections on miscarriage and abortion, plus data, month by month, on fetal development. (Illus. not seen.) EC
