Author’s Books
The Incarnating Child
Joan Salter
The mystery of conception, pregnancy and birth stir within many people a sense of wonder. The Incarnating Child picks up Wordsworth’s theme, “Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting,” and follows the soul life of babies into early childhood and beyond
Mothering with Soul
Joan Salter
Bringing up children is important work. Yet there is little support for raising families. For example, parents with young children are pressured into jobs and childcare–yet many want the choice of being a full time mother or father. Joan Salter helps you choose by portraying mothering and creating a home as special work.
