Three Decades of Fertility

I got my own copy in paperback ( and a few to give as gifts) and I have been reading it.  This book is amazing.  It'a like sitting down in a living room with 10 women who have "been there, done that" more than most women in the world.

They share their struggles, their triumphs, their losses and their blessings.  And then you even get their answers to some tough questions, like how do you deal with repeated miscarriages and pregnancy loss?

What can you expect if you are to carry a baby to term in your 40s?  How can you deal with the wear and tear on your body after so many pregnancies?  How do you manage a family with babies and teens and 20 somethings all at the same time?

This book does not preach anyone way to look at fertility as each woman has followed God's leading as He has taken each one through their unique journey of faith.  I'm sure you will enjoy this book, and I  know I can't wait to read more chapters...but I'll be fighting for reading rights along with my daughters and they are anxious to read it too!

Please comment if you have read the book and tell me what you think!

More Quotes from Three Decades of Fertility

Three Decades of Fertility

No, no new letter yet.  But I have something just as good!  Last fall I was asked to contribute to a book about childbearing years.  The authors all have two things in common.  They have all given birth throughout their childbearing years.  Some had many children (like me) and some had only a few, with long time spans between having babies.  The second thing they all have in common is that they are women of faith.  Faith in the God of the Bible, and they each recognize that He is the author and creator of life, and that God uses our childbearing years to create us to be Christlike.



Relinquishing control (or perceived control) of our bodies to the creative work of pregnancy and childbirth has many correlations to the walk of a believer.  We have to take a back seat in order to really see the glory of what Christ is doing in us.  If we fight against God and choose to give in to our natural desire to control our lives in any way, then we are not allowing God to be Lord of our lives, and we will suffer for it.  If in no other way, we suffer from stress.  Because we are not God, we are not created with the ability to control most things, so when we try, we are putting stress into our lives.



Anyway, all that to say that this book is a great collection of stories.  Stories of faith and trust.  Stories of learning to recognize God's hand even in times of difficulty.  Stories of triumph and stories of intense heartache.  I wish all women of faith could read this book and learn of these women who have, in so many ways, "Been There, Done That."



Three Decades of Fertility will be released in paperback and E-book on July 29, Lord Willing!  You can use the banner at the top of this or the link near the top of the right side bar for ordering (I will get a commission on your order so thanks in advance for ordering using my link!  With two trips to an Eastern European to rescue Priscilla, I'm sure any extra income will come in handy!).
