There are few books devoted to people facing infertility. Fewer still address issues of faith, and even fewer are written with both men and women in mind. That’s what makes this book so special: it achieves all three.
Praying Through Infertility is a unique book that seeks to reach out and comfort men, women and couples who are struggling with infertility and facing the very real prospect of childlessness. It is a collection of devotions, each with a scripture, a message of encouragement, an intentional prayer and a key takeaway point.
Not only that, but Praying Through Infertility was written by a total of thirty-seven contributors from around the world. Each writer’s story is different, but they have this in common: they have all travelled the road of infertility or childlessness at some point, as has the collator of these devotions, Sheridan Voysey (author of Resurrection Year, his own story of infertility).
They truly empathise with your situation. They understand what you are going through.
They truly empathise with your situation. Infertility and childlessness have a way of taking our most precious dreams, our most treasured desires, our deepest beliefs, and tearing them to shreds. We can find ourselves asking questions we never thought we’d ask, doubting ourselves and our loved ones, and losing our grip on faith we thought was immovable.
If that wasn’t enough, we can find ourselves disillusioned. Those things we thought we could always lean on, always trust, suddenly become shaky ground. We can feel betrayed by God, misled by false promises and false hope. We might be furious with him, or simply disappointed.
Those things we thought we could lean on suddenly become shaky ground. Worries can haunt our days and despair our nights. What-Ifs can reply in our minds like bad TV reruns. We wonder what might have been different had we acted earlier, spent more money, prayed harder, seen a different doctor, done all the things. And we feel so alone, like no one can understand.
That’s where Praying Through Infertility steps in. It is not a guide but a companion for the journey, letting you know you are not alone in your doubts, fears and feelings. It is a reminder of God’s nearness; that no matter what happens, he cares about you—more than we sometimes think.
We may feel alone, but we don’t have to do this alone.
We may feel alone, but we don’t have to do this alone. If you are walking the road of infertility and want a travelling companion—if you have been plagued by anxiety of ‘What if this never happens?’—if you have lost hope and faith somewhere along the way—this book is for you.
And if you are a friend or loved one of someone facing infertility, and you don’t know what to say or how to comfort them, this book says it better than any of us alone ever could.
