Creating with God is a boldly truthful, sometimes funny, and deeply spiritual account of where babies come from and where babies take us. Jobe reads the Bible through the lens of her back-to-back pregnancies and finds that God shows up in pregnancy when we least expect it. Weaving together biblical reflection, her own story, and the stories of the moms around her, Jobe reveals the ways in which pregnancy is at the heart of God’s work in the world. She invites her readers to see the image of Jesus in pregnant women, feel God abiding in the work of pregnancy, and to consider the ways that pregnancy can train us in the very practices we need to live a life of faith.

Praise

This is a book that is both delightful and insightful — and a real treat for any mom who is now, or ever has been, pregnant...Jobe, an ordained pastor and mother of two, admits up-front that she was not one of those dewy pregnant women who make it seem so blissful and easy. This book is the result of her attempt to find God in the experience of pregnancy. As she explains in the introduction, she has come to realize that ‘God is present in pregnancy at precisely the places that seem least divine.’ In engaging chapters, this book shows how that is true.
