for the thirty-some years it has been in print in one edition or another,"Spiritual Midwifery" has established itself as a guide to safe, joyous, and fun..yes,fun..home birth. The book is made up partly "Amazing Birthing Tales" told by women who have given birth on the Farm, and partly of instructions to midwives (many of whom have been inspired to follow this path by the success and beauty of the farm approach to birthing.)

The photojournalism in "Spiritual Midwifery" is as inspiring as its written tales. Those who wish to see evidence that a woman can be happy and radiant while having a baby without drugs can witness the Farm birthing rexord for themselves.

"Spiritual Midwifery" is a historically important log of Farm experience,philosophy and culture over the years.Highly recommended, whether the reader is or is not in the :"childbearing years."
