The pressures of work and life are relentless; our children's needs are often impossible to meet; and we rarely, if ever, allow ourselves the time and attention necessary to satisfy our own inner longings. Parenthood is difficult, demanding, and draining. And yet, argues Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg, if we can approach it from a different mindset, perhaps the work of parenting itself can offer the solace we seek.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Rooted in Judaism but incorporating a wide-range of religious and literary traditions, \u003ci\u003eNurture the Wow\u003c\/i\u003e asks, Can ancient ideas about relationships, drudgery, pain, devotion, and purpose help make the hard parts of a parent's job easier and the magical stuff even more so? Ruttenberg shows how parenting can be considered a spiritual practice--and how seeing it that way can lead to transformation. This is a parent\u003ci\u003ehood\u003c\/i\u003e book, not a parent\u003ci\u003eing\u003c\/i\u003e book; it shows how the experiences we have as parents can change us for the better. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Enlightening, uplifting, and laugh-out-loud funny, \u003ci\u003eNurture the Wow\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how parenthood--in all its crazy-making, rage-inducing, awe and joy-filled moments--can actually be the path to living fully, authentically, and soulfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDanya Ruttenberg \u003c\/b\u003ewas named one of ten \"rabbis to watch\" by\u003ci\u003e Newsweek \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eone of the \"50 most influential women rabbis\" by \u003ci\u003eThe Forward\u003c\/i\u003e.
