Might pregnancy form women just as much as children? 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 honor 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 romanticizing 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.

»Wer bist du?«¿»Was kannst du?« »Wer willst du sein?« Ich war 20 Jahre alt, als mir meine Eltern diese drei Fragen stellten. In dieser Zeit hatte ich absolut keinen Plan, wo es in meinem Leben hingehen sollte. Ich war alles andere als zielorientiert. Ganz im Gegenteil. Nach einer misslungenen Schulzeit und vier prägenden Jahren in einer Industrietischlerei, fühlte ich mich eher kraftlos und demotiviert. Doch ich hatte Glück. Denn meine Eltern waren Lifecoaches und sie brachten mir die wichtigsten Grundprinzipien von Erfolg und innerem Glück bei. Ich lernte, mich immer besser zu verstehen und erkannte nach monatelangem Reflektieren meine Aufgabe im Leben: Ich inspiriere und ermutige Menschen, ihr einzigartiges Potenzial zu entdecken, ihre Talente zu entfalten und begleite sie dabei, ihre Träume im Leben zu verwirklichen. Mir ist klar, dass nicht jeder mit liebevollen und lehrreichen Eltern aufgewachsen ist oder erfolgreiche Mentoren hat, die einem die Erfolgsanleitung in die Hand drücken.¿Also kam mir nach einiger Zeit ein entscheidender Gedanke: . Wie kann ich Menschen mit meinen Fähigkeiten dienen? ¿ . Wie kann ich anderen helfen, ebenso ihre Aufgabe im Leben zu erkennen? ¿ . Wie kann ich Menschen unterstützen, das zu finden, was sie in ihrem Leben wirklich erreichen wollen? ¿Diese Fragen wurden der Auslöser für meine persönliche Suche und sind der Grund, weshalb du gerade diese Zeilen liest. Um herauszufinden, wo es in deinem Leben hingehen soll, musst du wissen, wer du bist, was du kannst und welcher Mensch du sein willst. Wir dürfen also an unserer Persönlichkeit arbeiten. Und nichts definiert deine Persönlichkeit mehr als deine eigene Geschichte, deine Erfahrungen und deine Träume der Zukunft. Deine reflektierten Erfahrungen definieren das Fundament deiner Persönlichkeit. Deine Stärken, Visionen und Umsetzungen bilden eine erfolgreiche Zukunft.
