A great gift book,
This review is from: Empty Womb, Aching Heart: Hope and Help for Those Struggling With Infertility (Paperback)
I love this book as a gift for friends who are struggling with infertility, particularly if they are open to a Christian message of hope and comfort. (And usually, when confronted by such a serious and heartbreaking issue, most people are open to what God's word says and can offer.)Mother's Day and Father's Day can be brutal days for someone waiting for a child; this might be a thoughtful gesture to let them know you care. I also have tried, with my own friendships, to be aware of when a due date is drawing near if the couple has lost the baby. If you remember that date, and can send a card, or this book, with a note you care, it will be a real blessing to your friend.Ginger Garrett, Author: Moments For Couples Who Long For Children

Hope and Help in the Struggle!!!,

This review is from: Empty Womb, Aching Heart: Hope and Help for Those Struggling With Infertility (Paperback)
When the professional advice isn't enough, and you've had your fill of well-meaning comments from those who haven't experienced infertility, Marlo Schalesky wants you to know you are not alone. The true stories she tells of couples who share in the collective hopes, fears, frustrations, and the comfort only God can bring will encourage your heart.Our family knows that infertility strikes at the core of what oit means to be a woman or man, it tests marriages, and shakes the faith. This honest, open, and emotionally resonant first-person collection of stories will touch your life, and if you're looking for a good dose of Christ-centered encouragement for the journey of infertility, this is it. We looked for months for a book like this, and we hope you are encouraged like we were. A very highly recommended book!!!

A Powerfully Comforting Book for Christians,
This review is from: Empty Womb, Aching Heart: Hope and Help for Those Struggling With Infertility (Paperback)
This book is a collection of short stories, based on the experiences of real men and women who struggled with infertility. Each story explores a slightly different aspect of infertility, but all have a strong Christian foundation.Those in the middle of the infertility journey will find this book encouraging and comforting for several reasons. First, stories such as "Crying in the Diaper Aisle" help you to realize that you are neither alone nor crazy - your experience is just the same as many others. Second, this books avoids the all-too-common "and then we had a baby!" happy ending. While all the stories end on a hopeful note, more often than not it is because the characters learn new ways to cope or rely on God for comfort. Finally, both men's and women's perspectives on infertility are addressed. Stories from a man's perspective include a husband whose low sperm count is causing the couple's infertility, and a man who just can't understand his wife's pain. I enjoyed this book tremendously (though I did cry at several of the stories) and felt comforted after reading it. I highly recommend it to couples facing infertility, as well as their family and friends.
