Longing for a Child: Devotions of Hope for Your Journey through Infertility
Most people struggling with infertility feel alone and suffer in silence because the journey through infertility is deeply private and often misunderstood by those who have not suffered it.  This book meets individuals and couples where they are in their journey through infertility. It is a companion of hope, healing, and help featuring sixty heartfelt devotions designed to connect readers securely to God during this time of waiting, heartbreak, and questioning. Filled with a variety of perspectives from men and women and a balance of biblical and contemporary examples, this book is designed with the flexibility to be used by individuals or couples as a personal devotional companion or as a discussion guide for a support group or in a counseling session.  The book is divided into 12 themes with five devotions on each theme. Each devotion contains a Scripture, short thematic story, prayer, 3-5 gentle reflective questions, and a place to journal.  A special feature, "Special Meditations for Special Days," offers extra help on occasions when the reader may need additional encouragement, such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Grandparents Day, baby showers, baby dedications/baptisms, take your child to work day, Christmas, family gatherings, at the start of another monthly cycle, and when facing a medical procedure.
