My book Looking Over Mother’s Shoulder is published by Trilogy, an arm of TBN. It is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and my office. Look what a colleague of mine had to say about the book:

Looking Over Mother’s Shoulder is an education in spiritual development through the visual system. Vision and light are intertwined though the readings of the Bible and through the works of healings by our Lord, Jesus.
It is fascinating how Dr. Henshaw has integrated his understanding of Vision and the word and actions of God from conception through life. It reminds me of Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Dr. Henshaw views all individuals in this manner. We are all gifts from God. Dr. Henshaw sees those gifts.
In my vision therapy room, there is a poster from Matthew 6:22: “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.” By using the principles of Developmental/Behavioral Optometry and the guidance of our Lord, Jesus Christ, we are able to provide vision care from the youngest to the oldest patients we have. Dr. Henshaw sees God in all people, and no one is a stranger in his office.
This is a must read for all parents to understand the crucial development of their child. Parents are the most important people in a child’s life. To understand God and Vision in the development of a child is all in this book, “Looking Over Mom’s Shoulder.”

My book Looking Over Mother’s Shoulder is published by Trilogy, an arm of TBN. It is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Trilogy, and my office. Look what a colleague of mine had to say about the book:

The sincerity of Looking Across Mom’s Shoulder proves that its author, Bill Henshaw, is an eye doctor who loves his God, his calling, and his patients. Henshaw, a born-again Christian, shares how God, life, and vision cannot be separated, how spiritual soundness and visual soundness are linked, and how even something as simple as the placement of a child’s crib and the voices of his or her mother and father can have an effect on the child’s future seeing. As Henshaw follows the development of vision through “the flash of light” at conception, and the journey through God’s light during birth, infancy, early childhood, school, the teenage years, and even adulthood, he shares some of the miracles created by his God-inspired, fivefold approach to vision. Including both the Scripture and science of vision, Looking Across Mom’s Shoulder is the perfect book for those who wish to return to the God-given goodness of seeing in order to flourish in the world while beholding the wonder of God’s creation. Dr. David Cook, author of When Your Child Struggles.

The influence of public schools over parents became real to me when the replica of the Mayflower appeared for my 7-year-old patient when looking in his eyes. He declared the Pilgrims were mean to the Indians. I said they were friends and that is why we celebrate Thanksgiving. He insisted they weren’t! His mother said of course the Indians were friends with the Pilgrims. Again he insisted, no they weren’t. My teacher told me so!

A must read for new parents. Looking Over Mother’s Shoulder by Dr. Bill Henshaw does a beautiful job of blending scripture, vision and the developmental process. He takes you through a parent’s experience and thought process from birth through adulthood. Finally he shows how vision can be affected through out the process and what can be done to aid and prevent vision problems. He discusses how to use the 5 tools, vision hygiene, lens therapy, light therapy, vision therapy and vision processing therapy to guide a child’s development. As a fellow developmental optometrist I highly recommend Looking Over Mother’s Shoulder.
