Supported in Birth: Stories of Empowering Wisdom

I've done this before. I knew the powerful potential building inside her. Her heart beat faster. My breaths grew deeper. When her face disappeared into the soft sea of birth, I knew the sacred dance was in full swing. I remember: birth isn't for the strong or brave or cunning. It's for those who are supported. For those who feel safe in surrendering to motherhood. In Supported in Birth: Stories of Empowering Wisdom, mothers share their colorful experiences involving healing, challenges, blessings, and the wild emotions in the moments of becoming a mother. Their wisdom and strength, along with our Essential Birthing Guide, will leave you feeling empowered and wholly supported in your passage through birth and into motherhood.

Supported in Postpartum: Stories of Rejuvenating Wisdom

By: Maranda Bower

He's curled up beside me. Much like the ticking of a clock - the rhythmic passing of days and months, he'll slowly wake. Unraveling and unfolding, he opens his sparkling brown eyes. He blinks. Then he smiles. A big toothless grin that nearly stops time in its tracks. A giggle deep within comes bubbling out of me. I smile too. Finally, I smile. Finally, I'm seeing the light. In Supported in Postpartum: Stories of Rejuvenating Wisdom, mothers share their unyielding love and unmentionable struggles through postpartum including stories of postpartum depression, sleep deprivation, healing, and bonding with their baby.

Supported in Breastfeeding: Stories of Nourishing Wisdom

By: Maranda Bower

She was determined. Frantic even. Twenty-three challenging hours of labor and she was fiercely hungry. Before this moment, I didn't know. Before this, I've only imagined. She looked in my eyes and in a skip of a heart beat, we understood. She latched. Rhythmic, restful, nourishing swallows. I smiled. This is just the beginning. In Supported in Breastfeeding: Stories of Nourishing Wisdom, mothers share their love and dedication to breastfeeding their children. Stories of cesarean, twin, pre-term, and even adopted babies, bring us full circle through the beauty and perils of breastfeeding. Their wisdom and commitment, along with our Essential Breastfeeding Guide, will leave you (and your baby) feeling nourished and wholly supported in your breastfeeding journey.

Bishop Butler and Logic, Love, and the Pursuit of Happiness in the Age of Unreason

By: David White,Michael J. Maranda

Using ordinary language and appealing to the acknowledged facts of experience, Bishop Butler presented a guidebook on how to live in pursuit of happiness and the benefit of all. This book introduces readers to Butler’s philosophy as a whole and to the primary texts in his own words. Butler was an advocate and consistently defended the Church of England and its associated morality and theology in all his works. He insisted on the necessity of having good reasons to support any belief or practice toward which one was attracted. Butler’s ideas are presented here as a good fit with the full range of theistic piety and with the varieties of ethical atheism. The imposition of dogma and the exposition of bias are discarded as distractive from the search for truth. The life, sources, works, and reception of Bishop Butler serve as a bridge, or navigational aid, joining the wisdom of the ancients, sacred and secular, with our experience as moderns and with our expectations for future generations. Since Butler insists on grounding his views in evidence and argumentation, his appeal extends well beyond the Anglican Communion. Butler’s clarity of expression and cogency of argumentation free him from the bias associated with philosophical and religious thought. His work remains critical of, and receptive to, a wide range of ways to carry on the business of living a human life without falling into the kind of error and distraction most likely to lead to misery.
