The Mother and Child Project is a book written to a Christian audience to show the importance of whole family health. It is divided into four sections, each section contains essays written by political and religious leaders about a problem third world countries face regarding mother and child health in pregnancy and family planning; mother emotional and physical health and impact on family; child marriage, slavery and orphans; and why Christians need to advocate for mothers around the world.
The essays are well written and thought provoking. They are full of personal experiences and studies on the impact changes have on the lives of families. Some of the statistics are shocking and there was much I hadn't even considered when thinking about how the lives of women and children are lived in other parts of the world. Some of the information I have read in the book Half the Sky, but the figures on child marriage and slavery I don't think is talked about much.
This is an important book for all people to read, but especially Christians, whose family planning policies wreak havoc in the world. The only problem I encountered when reading the book was the repetitive nature of the essays. Each section could have been cut down by only publishing essays with different information.
