The First Forty Days


Book Description

After labor, it’s time for rest: A gentle guide to zuo yuezi, the ancient Chinese practice of postpartum self-care, including sixty simple recipes. The first forty days after the birth of a child offer an essential and fleeting period of rest and recovery for the new mother. Based on Heng Ou’s own postpartum experience with zuo yuezi, a set period of “confinement” in which a woman remains at home focusing on healing and bonding with her baby, The First Forty Days revives the lost art of caring for the mother after birth. As modern mothers are pushed to prematurely “bounce back” after delivering their babies, and are often left alone to face the physical and emotional challenges of this new stage of their lives, the first forty days provide a lifeline—a source of connection, nourishment, and guidance. This book includes sixty simple recipes for healing soups, replenishing meals and snacks, and calming and lactation-boosting teas, all formulated to support the unique needs of the new mother. In addition to recipes, this warm and encouraging guide offers advice on arranging a system of help during the postpartum period, navigating relationship challenges, and honoring the significance of pregnancy and birth. Fully illustrated, it is a practical guide and inspirational read for all new mothers and mothers-to-be—the perfect ally during the first weeks with a new baby. “Bringing our attention back to the importance of the postpartum period for new mothers helps to create space for this essential period of integration and recovery . . . an invaluable companion during the first 40 days and beyond.” —Ricki Lake & Abby Epstein, filmmakers, The Business of Being Born




40 Days To A Marriage That Sizzles


Book Description

This book by Tim & Glori Winders is designed to give you a road map to change the way you think and operate over the next 40 days. Habits can be developed but many times habits need to be broken. Don't let the small size of this book fool you. Good things often come in small packages. Even though the confession and/or task for the day may seem small or insignificant, the power behind each action is dynamite! You will find sections entitled "For Her Eyes Only," and "For His Eyes Only." When we first wrote these books, they were printed as two separate books: one for her and one for him. In the digital age, it seemed right to combine the two books together. The process behind this exercise does make it more effective if you read only your portion of the book, at least for the first 40 days. In that way, you will not spoil any surprises that might be coming your way from your spouse as they work through their portion of the book. Each day includes a learning step or action step that should be completed that day. Each day also includes a thought or confession. These are meant to be read aloud throughout the day. Mark 11:23 says, "....he shall have whatsoever he saith." It is time to put that in place in your life!
