CBD-Search has been using the JR Miller Archive site (with permission) for the last few months for our Thoughts Regarding God and Life blog, which gets included in our monthly newsletter.

There is such a wealth of Christian literature on this website, which is dedicated to publishing all of JR Miller's works, of which there are over 80 books, booklets and pamphlets.

Please do visit this site and read more about the life of JR Miller. I know that as you peruse some of his books which have already being published online, you will be as impressed by the content as I was.

I can certainly see why there is a group of people dedicated to keeping the works of this man alive even so long after his death. Someone once told me that a book can only be classed as being truly good, if even a hundred years after the author dies people are still reading the material, and that it is still topical and appropriate to the day. This is certainly so in this case.

Today I would like to introduce you to a simple web site dedicated to a simple topic.

The site in question is called dear mamma and is dedicated to discussing issues on natural parenting for the first year of your child's life.

It may seem a little silly that I, a male with no children, would be drawn to such a site. But in this age where we are convinced to do things the easy way and where the family unit is breaking down, so many of us are asking the questions that lead us back to doing things, like parenting, the more traditional, natural way.

Here is an excerpt from the front page of this website:

should I quit working to become a stay-at-home mom? What can I say to my father-in-law who is uncomfortable with breastfeeding? Is the "family bed" safe? These important questions and more are answered in dear mamma.

the central theme of dear mamma is to encourage women to do what is natural, to listen to their intuitions and most of all - to have no regrets.

dear mamma is a keepsake. Inside there is a journal for you to write your very own personal letters, notes, thoughts, and quotes. dear mamma also has a special chapter devoted to daddy and worksheets designed to help you with the most important decisions in your parenting.

You will notice that this site is mainly advertising a book that you can purchase, and I have not read the book and so can make no judgment on the content. But as a prospective future parent who is already considering the various options, and taking the possibility of having children very seriously, this site, by its very nature and content, has sold me on purchasing this book once my wife and I come closer to the stage of having children ourselves.
