What They're Saying

Critics Review

“The Fines truly start with the beginning: Parenting our children. If you have or are considering having children, this could be one of the most important books you read this year.” * Thom Hartmann, author of The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight and The Edison Gene *
“This is a superb book in every respect. I know of no other work quite like it, and none its equal.” * Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of The Magical Child, From Magical Child to Magical Teen, and The Biol *
“A ‘Why to’ book as well as a ‘How to’ book, the authors make the case for natural birth, bonding, and parenting. Well written and an easy read.” * William Sears, M.D., coauthor of the bestselling The Baby Book *
“This book has expanded my mind on what it means to be green. The Art of Conscious Parenting gives us a ‘green parenting’ ecosystem for our children that, if followed, will guarantee that our kids will thrive and not just survive.” * J. Stace McGee, president, Environmental Dynamics, consultant to the U.S. Green Building Council *
“This book will help us return to a wisdom we all have in our very bones. When free of the often destructive messages we imbibe from our culture, conscientiousness and conscience become the keys to successful parenting, family life, and world community. We ignore these lessons at deep peril to ourselves and our children.” * David H. Albert, author of And the Skylark Sings with Me: Homeschooling and Community-Based Educatio *
The Art of Conscious Parenting shows that ancient wisdom on early nurturing experiences is corroborated by a vast range of contemporary scientific studies. With rampant family dysfunction, depression, violence, and other endemic ills traceable to morbid patterns of child-rearing, we cannot afford to ignore the exciting challenges posed by this compelling, thought-provoking, and loving book.” * Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum, author of Wings of the Sun: Traditional Jewish Healing in Theory and Practi *
Yet was I a son to my father,
tender and alone before my mother.
Then he taught me and said to me:
Keep my ways and live;
Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding.

“So says King Solomon, the son of King David. The Fines have given every reader the opportunity to acquire wisdom and acquire the understanding to choose life for their future generations.” * Rabbi Isaac Vachmann, Temple Shalom, Pompano Beach, Florida *
“Jeffrey and Dalit Fine’s book lends insight into the sacred art of parenting and the science that sheds light on our deepest bond. No subject could be more important.” * Alex Grey, author of Sacred Mirrors and Transfigurations *
”… [The Fines] present a holistic approach to birth and bonding in infancy … “ * Library Journal, Oct 2009 *
