Encouraging

I loved this book. We are at the beginning of a journey we never wanted to take. This book has provided sound biblical advice and encouragement for both me and my husband. The writer has found a wonderful way of writing just what I needed to read at just the right moment. I have shared many of the devotions with my husband and he has enjoyed it as well. I recommend it highly. The author truly has a devotion to encourage you during every step of the journey. Moreover, if you have a friend or are in ministry this makes a very comforting gift. The author doesn't make any foolish guarantees or empty promises but manages to give the reader hope and points to Christ as our ultimate source of peace.

Everyhing I needed to get through TTC

THis book offered everything I needed to guide me emotionally and spiritually for getting through trying to conceive. Every time I started to feel hopeless, a friend getting pregnant and me still TRYING, another negative pregnancy test, etc. I could turn to this book and find a moment that I could relate to. SHe covers it all - there's something in this book for everyone. Her journey is inspiring and comforting, giving hope for your personal infertility struggles. The prayers are written out and help guide your personal time with God. I recommend this book to ANYONE who is hurting and desires to find peace and comfort through God.

Comforting Read

I am not extremely religious, but definitely believe in God and that "everything happens for a reason". I found this book to be most comforting to put things into perspective and put my mind at ease while trying to conceive. Whether you are impatiently waiting or suffering from a physical impairment blocking your ability to get pregnant, this book is great. Also recommended: "Healing Mind, Healthy Woman" by Alice Domar.

Most comforting

In my struggles with infertility and miscarriage, I have found Ms. Garrett's book the best one out there. My husband and I use this as a devotional each night before we go to bed. The short stories have hit right on the mark of feelings and situations we are experiencing, and give practical, Biblical advice on them. It is great to hear what God says about our struggles, and I am so glad that this book is available. Highly recommend it to everyone who is searching for comfort on their most awful days.

True Comfort For A Trying Time

This book is an incredible comfort and guide to any couple struggling with infertility. Ms. Garrett touches on an extremely broad set of issues, from the Christian perspective on fertility drugs to handling insensitive comments, trusting friends, dealing with doubt, etc. She provides a Bible verse and spiritual guidance on each issue. This book would also make a very thoughtful gift for friends or family dealing with infertility.
