Reflections on Faith Inspired by Babies Phil Ridden

If we seek God, we will see Him revealed in the people and events in our lives. Including babies. A nappy (diaper), a 3.00am feed, sleep deprivation, baby paraphernalia ... can each help us to reflect on faith.

That is the purpose of this book. As you read these reflections, it is likely they will conjure familiar images for you. I hope they will also help you to meditate on God and your relationship with Him.

Each of the sixty brief reflections is inspired by everyday experiences and emotions. Those experiences allow the reader to reflect on their relationship with God.

This is not a book to be read from cover to cover. It is designed to be dipped into, sequentially or not, with favourite passages revisited from time to time. Perhaps it will inspire you to add your own reflections on the theme.

Readers have said, "I am moved by the way you have related our relationships with our precious little ones to our own relationship with our Father in heaven." "As a mother, your words are so relatable and woke a range of emotions, a smile, a memory." "Made me smile thinking of greeting [my son] in the morning." "Deeply touching."

This is a book for men and women, parents and grandparents ... anyone who has experienced the all-consuming demands of a baby, and the unconditional love which it evokes in us.
