As a bioethicist and a new mother, when presented with this book review, I was eager to delve into this topic of health after pregnancy and found the book to be a gift in my own life. Auth is a graduate of Franciscan University of Steubenville with a degree in Catechetics and experience working in youth ministry and marriage preparation. She now homeschools her four children. As a mother of four, Auth shares the physical, emotional, and spiritual struggles and joys of each of the births and postpartum periods of each child’s life as the framework for her book. Through this lens, she recognizes the need and call to learn to glorify God, body and soul, and grow in virtue postpartum. She qualifies that the postpartum period is not the typical three months but really the entire year after giving birth. From these stories, Auth enters into more specific aspects of her postpartum journey and offers insight into the research she did while overcoming these health challenges. Auth enters into postpartum depression and depletion, physical recovery, marital struggles and natural family planning (NFP), mental and spiritual health, and finally community.","PeriodicalId":44238,"journal":{"name":"Linacre Quarterly","volume":"87 1","pages":"351 - 352"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0024363920924581","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45421312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sutton, Barbara Golder","doi":"10.1177/0024363919857340","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/0024363919857340","url":null,"abstract":"of exorcist became an entry to higher ministry. Particularly prominent healing powers are recorded about the monks of Syria and Saint Martin of Tours. It was during this historical period that the first records of the healing powers of saints’ relics are found. Importantly, and quite timely for our twenty-first century debates, Saints Jerome and Basil both note that while medical care is important, it must be stressed that “physicians labor in vain without God’s aid.” This positive impression likely led to the copying and preservation of ancient medical writings by monks, especially the works of Galen. In turn, the combined forces of faith and medicine led to the establishment of the first hospitals, including Saint Basil of Caesarea’s in Cappadocia in the late fourth century. Each chapter ends with a brief summary of its more important points. Daunton-Fear’s final chapter does not provide any controversial or dogma-challenging proposals, nor should such contention be expected. His extensive documentation is intended to support and promote faithful study of spiritual miracles in the physical domain and that mission is successful. The extensive bibliography provides a resource for academic pursuits interested in further work. The expected audience for this text would be limited, with its greatest interest from the historic/theologic academicians. However, as a review of the power of Christianity in the physical sphere, it can be a source of encouragement and inspiration for healthcare professionals. The healing professions, at their very best, combine science and faith as they truly care for the physical and spiritual needs of others. This book reinforces the importance of this philosophy, and in today’s secular medicine culture, the records left for us by the Biblical authors and the earliest Christians are more instructive and appropriate than ever.","PeriodicalId":44238,"journal":{"name":"Linacre Quarterly","volume":"86 1","pages":"247 - 248"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0024363919857340","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48628060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
