“Praise for The Christian Mama’s Guide to Baby’s First Year Wish you had a mentor to walk with you through that first year of motherhood? Well, now you do! Erin shares a hope-filled, come-along-side-you guide for knowing how to handle the 24/7 details of living—and succeeding—with baby. Covering everything from nursing to diapering to medical issues and more, Erin tackles it all, but with a biblical view of God’s wonderful plan for parenting. She even provides a daddy-to-daddy guide to help him on the journey. Be sure to start the trip with this valuable guide!”
“Erin MacPherson is the best friend you’ve always wanted—witty, wise, informative, and godly. In her Christian Mama’s Guide series, she gives practical insight and suggestions laced with biblical teaching and sound advice. As the mother of four (2, 4, 27, and 28 year olds) and the grandmother of six, I found her series to be refreshing, encouraging, and applicable. This is a must-read series for new parents— encouraging, empowering, and equipping you in Christ to set your child up for success.”
“When I was a young girl growing up in the 60s, my mother had a village! Upon bringing her baby home, her mama or mama-in-law, sister, or auntie had a suitcase planted next to the couch and faithfully stayed by the new mama’s side for a week or more and helped with the baby. Once that loving family member packed up and left, neighbor mamas were readily available with expert advice and a casserole! With families now living further apart and more women working outside the home, today’s mama isn’t always so fortunate. Step in Erin MacPherson! Erin is that thoughtful friend, loving sister, and expert (whose resume includes changing 16,425 dirty diapers) who can ease mama’s stress and hold her shaky hand through her first year as a mama. Not only should this book be on every new mama’s nightstand, veteran mamas will also find some refreshing and new tricks of the trade!”
“parents enrich their children spiritually in a very easy, relatable way.”
“Erin MacPherson has a way of giving good, sound advice in the same way a mother might sneak a healthy dose of vitamins into a spoonful of ice cream. I chuckled my way through her pages until, by the end, I realized I’d received life-saving wisdom from above, through a friend walking alongside me.”
