“Dear Child of Mine, an Heirloom Devotional for the Unborn Child” is a devotional book for expectant mothers written by Salado author Deirdre Tolhurst. It may make a perfect Mother’s Day gift for the expectant mother in your life.

In Dear Child of Mine, Tolhurst finds the beauty in each day that passes from conception to birth. Addressing the growth of the baby within and giving God the glory for each of His miraculous works is the mainstay of this daily devotional.

To be read out loud, each devotion begins with sweet words to the baby. The baby is told every day that it is loved and wanted, and the devotion notes what miracles are happening as the child grows. Followed by a prayer, the exciting changes inside the mother are spoken of with adoration of God’s kindness and miraculous ways. A scripture completes the devotion, always bringing the glory back to God.

This uniquely personal devotional has lines included each day so the mom can write the feelings and thoughts that captured her own heart at that stage of her pregnancy, making this a beautiful heirloom for generations to enjoy.
