National Jewish Book Award Finalist 2016

A deeply affecting, funny, insightful meditation that challenges readers to find the spiritual meaning of parenting.

Every day, parents are bombarded by demands. 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.

Rooted in Judaism but incorporating a wide-range of religious and literary traditions, Nurture the Wow 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 parenthood book, not a parenting book; it shows how the experiences we have as parents can change us for the better.

Enlightening, uplifting, and laugh-out-loud funny, Nurture the Wow 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.

Great for heavy duty chewers
Flavor Name: Steak, Size: Medium
Our two dogs love these bones. They’re very durable for heavy duty chewers and it takes them a fairly good time to get through them. They must love the taste because it’s the bone they first pick up. I’ve gotten two flavors so far, beef and the peanut butter. Our dogs love them and because of that so do we.

Seems great, but not for my lab
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium, Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
I am rating this, to some degree, from a hypothetical standpoint. It SEEMS like a great bone. It SEEMS like it will last quite a while and withstand some avid chewers. However, I can't say for certain because it just wasn't well-loved by my Black Lab. She has a penchant for chewing animal bones. She loves to find wildlife bones in our yard and munch on them, so we do our best to provide healthy chewing options in the house. She will go to town on a cow's joint and even enjoys a peanut butter filled Kong from time to time, but this bone just didn't meet her expectations. It's not a bad bone. It has a very rugged feel and seems like it would be safe if bits and pieces were to begin coming off, like they're safely edible. I guess (and I can't say for sure..) it just doesn't have as much of a meaty flavor as many dog's like. If your pup is a Nylabone chewer- or likes to chow down on your loafers- this bone may be a perfect new addition to his/her toy bin.

Bone for destroyers
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Small
4 months ago I Bought this bone for my 90lb lab who destroys all his bones, but not this one! It barely has any teeth/chew marks on it and it’s one of his favorites. It was a great find and I’ll be sure to buy again. If you have a dog that destroys bones I’d give this one a try.

Immediate Doggy Happiness!
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
Great dog bones! These are a nice size for my 55-pound Aussie, as well as our 96-pound Alaskan Shepherd. They are big enough to last for a while, and big enough to see so that I don't step on them with my bare feet; part of this is that they stick up off the floor a bit, instead of being a flat bone, all in one plane.
