review: Editorial Reviews Review " Then Comes Baby is a delightful book for new Catholic parents, full of personal anecdotes and wonderful insights. But most of all, the advice and encouragement you will find is extremely useful in learning how to be the parents God has called you to be. What we like best about this book is that it addresses the new mom and the new dad with equal emphasis. Husbands and wives are together called to build a healthy Catholic family by having a strong faith walk. This book tells them what works when both parents, together, are uniquely aware of the design God intends for families when baby comes." -- Dr. William and Martha Sears , Coauthors of The Baby Book and The Attachment Parenting Book " Then Comes Baby provides solid, hands-on help and rich Catholic guidance for parents on how to love their child deeply as they strengthen their love for each other. This book will help them become holy families." -- Most Reverend Joseph E. Kurtz , Archbishop of Louisville, President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops "God wants to fill the hearts of families with the fire of his love. Greg and Lisa Popcak show you how to open to that love through all the joys and challenges of welcoming a new baby. If family life is a gift, Then Comes Baby shows you how to unwrap and celebrate that gift in all its forms." -- Christopher West , Author of Fill These Hearts " Then Comes Baby will help every parent rejoice in both the gift of new life and all the blessings and changes that come with it. The Popcaks articulate a practical vision of family life that is deeply faithful, extravagantly loving, and incredibly joyful. You can create the family your heart desires. This book will show you how." -- Damon Owens , Executive Director, Theology of the Body Institute "Greg and Lisa Popcak remind us that in spite of our fears, God invites us to do the most important work in building a good and holy world: raising children. This wise and practical guide will help parents navigate the sometimes-challenging, often-uplifting work of parenting babies. More importantly, it will remind them to love every minute of it!" -- -- Tim and Sue Muldoon , Authors of Six Sacred Rules for Families Review “ Then Comes Baby is a delightful book for new Catholic parents, full of personal anecdotes and wonderful insights.
