When we talk  about pregnancy, we too often end up talking clinically and  sentimentally. Pregnancy is medical details and a whirl of emotions. It  is vitamins and baby showers and feelings. But it is so much more.   In Showing, Agnes  Howard takes us beyond clinical reductionism and fluffy sentimentality  to show us how to take pregnancy seriously as hard but important work.  It is not just a bodily process, she argues, but an active work of  care - one that underscores the generosity and mutual dependence we all  require in order to live. It is an act of 'radical hospitality' that  shows us all what it means to be human.   Howard delves into  prenatal care literature from the Christian tradition to find images and  vocabulary that elevate and honour pregnancy - not only for the benefit of  expectant parents, but also their communities and the church.  Taking pregnancy seriously does not entail viewing it as a woman's only  role or romanticising it. Instead, Showing maintains that  thinking well about pregnancy can help not only childbearing women but  all who surround them understand how to live together more faithfully.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EERDMANS TRADE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47504585261108,"sku":"9780802877239","price":38.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9780802877239.jpg?v=1774760239","url":"https:\/\/woodslane.com.au\/products\/9780802877239","provider":"Woodslane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
