This was a hard book to read, and I cried through much of it. Some of the descriptions of what it feels like to long for a child were incredibly "close to home" - while it was wonderful to find that other people have similar feelings too, it wasn't an easy book to read. Overall, I found it helpful, particularly the chapter on bitterness of soul and the emphasis on God's sovereignty. The concluding chapter which discussed ways of "mothering" that don't include childbearing or adoption was also This was a hard book to read, and I cried through much of it.

This was a wonderful book filled with exactly the encouragement I needed. I've been feeling so down, depressed, and discouraged by the long road of trying to conceive. Reading this book gave me hope. It gave me strength. And it gave me peace in the assurance that trusting God and His faithfulness is the best way to go.Jan 22, 2012
This book is very uplifting, yet realistic. I would recommend it for anyone dealing with the struggles of miscarriage, infertility, or adoption loss. The "burden bearers" sections at the end of each chapter are helpful and accurate, and I only wish I had the guts to share them with those I know who don't understand my grief. Scripture was tied in often, which I loved. I am so happy I came across this book.Jan 11, 2009
An excellent devotional for a difficult time. It is rare to find someone who can write with humility and maturity on this subject. I am grateful to have had this resource to help me through the trials of pregnancy loss and waiting on G-d's perfect timing.Dec 01, 2019
This book was incredibly helpful to my wife and I in processing and grieving both infertility and adoption loss.Dec 23, 2011
Maybe I haven't been 'trying' for long-enough to really relate. I found certain sections of the book helpful to be helpful and liked the section on ministering peace into a community. I do think minister's could find some tips in there for their communities around being more inclusive in family days to people that are single or going through fertility, empty nest or loss of a child, etc. I guess the part I didn't enjoy were more around my belief that if you keep seeing the rock inthe road you're Maybe I haven't been 'trying' for long-enough to really relate.

Then again His plan is normally far greater then mine so what so I have to worry about! To those that have been trying for a while - this isn't an easy book to read but sure you'll find comfort in the sections you need. I think that the author should be a little more open to books that are no chirstian based. I believe that God works through all people not only Christians which means none christain books also have value. ...moreApr 07, 2008
I am loving this book because of it's honesty, bluntness, and encouragement. The author has been through my struggles and so much more, and really owns the right to tell me how it is and how I need to be in response to what is going on.Mar 09, 2016
Given to me by a friend at church, so many treasures in this book. I will be passing it along.Mar 19, 2014
While I don't agree on the author necessarily on every point of this book it is a great resource for women struggling with infertility and looking for a Christian perspectiveMay 22, 2013
This helped me more then any other source get through infertility and my periods of doubt in my faith.Sep 02, 2012

This book does a wonderful job of explaining how infertility makes people feel. Hannah's story is something that we can all, as infertiles, relate to.Mar 22, 2014

This is a phenomenal book and I'm so glad I found it. I just kept wanting to write down so many of the quotes. The author is very relatable and this book makes you feel like you're not alone. It has good, Biblical advice.Jul 20, 2016
This book is a great resource and comfort for anyone going through infertility, and/or loss. It is also GREAT for anyone supporting someone in the midst of this pain (i.e. friend, spouse, pastor). The "Burden Bearers" at the end of each chapter were my favorite. So honest. So helpful.Jul 06, 2009
This book was wonderful. I was so happy with the scripture references and advice to those who are supporting people with IF. It was candid and honest, and I will continue to pick this book up and read it.Apr 27, 2016
If you're going through infertility and want to read a book that might have been written for the audience of a toddler, this is for you!Jan 08, 2009
This book is exactly what I had been needing. I was a therapy of sorts on those days when I felt like I just needed someone to understand how I was feeling. The author is sensitive and straight forward at the same time.Aug 13, 2008
I'll be putting this on my shelves for someone else. After about 3 or 4 chapters, I just don't want to read anymore. Yes, there is a lot of hope offered for someone going through this experience, and that may have been what I wanted once upon a time when I started reading. At this point I would rather read a book dealing with true infertility and coming to grips with your family being just the two of you.Sep 14, 2010
This book has been an excellent help to me in working through the grief that is the IF journey. I felt the author didn't try to sugar coat things or give the reader the cheesey "it can happen to you" pat on the back. I related with so much of what she shared. In addition the part for burden bearers (family and friends supporting others through IF) had tons of helpful and practical suggestions on how to walk alongside those struggling through IF.

Overall, this book has a lot of great insight and information for infertile women or women who have experienced pregnancy loss. However, I do feel that the author made the ability of the women in the midst of this pain to seek and trust in God seem a lot simpler than it is. Maybe that is because she has children now and does not remember the deep pain felt while still in the trenches fightng infertility. I also didn't like some of the personal opinions that the author expressed regarding Overall, this book has a lot of great insight and information for infertile women or women who have experienced pregnancy loss.

Was really religion based. Some parts resonated with me others did not. But was worth reading.Jan 19, 2018
I really appreciate this book. It was a comfort to me even though at first I didn't want to read it. I highly recommend this if you personally or if you have a loved one grieving through infertility, miscarriage, secondary infertility or adoption loss.Jun 07, 2019
This book has many gems. It gave a lot of insight of how to stand alongside those in the church who may struggle with infertility (As I feel this book mostly addresses infertility). However, I am not quite sure that the avoidance of triggers over a long period of time is the best way to deal difficult situations. Additionally, I found some sections of book a little repetitive and I am also little wary of crafting biblical texts to fit our circumstances.Take your time and choose the perfect book.
