3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. You and I both need this book.By Rabbi EmmaThis book is transformative. As the parent of two children; ages 1 and 5; I knew I needed something to grab onto in the emotional rollercoaster of these years; and this book is exactly what I need. I am profoundly grateful for Danya's invitation to enter the messiness of parenting as in itself a spiritual practice; and will return to Nurture the Wow again and again in the months and years ahead. Danya's honest weaving of parenting stories with ancient and contemporary spiritual texts holds up a mirror for all of our lives with our children. Buy it -- you will be so glad you did.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I received an early release copy of this book. ...By Danielle K.I received an early release copy of this book.Having long been an admirer of Rabbi Ruttenberg's writings; over the years I have appreciated her insights as our work and live paths overlapped and intersected. I was thrilled to find out that she was writing about parenthood - NOT parenting - from a Jewish; spiritual perspective. This is the book that I have been waiting for; as someone deeply immersed in Jewishness and also committed to my role as a parent. The first chapter alone enriched my thinking! I can't wait to share this book with my friends and community; and look forward to what it hopes to accomplish: initiate a dialogue on how Judaism and Jewish wisdom can inform and enlighten us in all aspects of our lives.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Beautifully written and intimately toldBy Devorah Heitner"It's all science; definitely. But damned if it's not also a miracle." Ruttenberg gets at something essential; something powerful and profound in the stack of moments that can sometimes drag when parenting small people. Her consideration of how much (and how little) power we have as parents is skillfully woven with stories from real parents as well as from spiritual teachers like Ram Dass. This book would make a beautiful gift for a new parent and a great read for a spiritual or parenting book group. Beautifully written and intimately told; this book is a pleasure to read.
