Your Amazing Newborn celebrates a baby's extraordinary abilities in the first hours and days of life. Marshall and Phyllis Klaus take parents and all those who care for new families into this freshly charted world, one they have been exploring for decades. The results of their fascinating research are illuminated by over 120 exquisite photographs, all of babies less than two weeks old. Your Amazing Newborn begins before birth with images of fetuses actually comforting themselves in the womb. We then see newborns less than one hour old crawling unassisted to the breast, recognizing the voices of their parents, and shutting our unwanted sights and sounds. Parents will learn how to discover an infant's clear preferences for certain shapes, smells, tastes, and tones of voice. They will be delighted by the ways babies seem to be able to ensure their own survival, and they will be amazed that within days after birth, newborns can engage in an intimate and reciprocal choreography, and nestle into a parent's embrace as though they had practiced for years. Your Amazing Newborn is a must for parents-to-be, grandparents, siblings, and caregivers; through its stunning photographs we see the first reach, the first mutual gaze-and most wonderful of all-the first spark of recognition that ignites a lifetime bond.

Death is the only certainty in life. There is no avoiding the inevitable—even for a nineteen-year-old boy named George. He doesn’t know how he died or why. The one thing he knows for sure is that death is only the beginning to a new experience that was contrary to popular Christian beliefs. Held in a spiritual prison, George pleads for mercy to make up for his life’s misdeeds and is granted another chance to redeem his earthly mistakes, but not in the way he expected. Returned to earth as a spirit guardian to a newborn child, he is faced with challenges of being an invisible keeper of a quickly growing little girl. George believed that his life was complex.
