5.0 out of 5 stars Very encouraging!, December 1, 2004

homeschooling mom of 6 (Maine) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Full Quiver: Family Planning and the Lordship of Christ (Paperback)

I read this alone and agian with my husband. I strongly encourage the readers of the negative reviews to take them with a grain of salt. We are Bible believing Christians and found the info in this book biblically accurate. Look up the verses....they are there. If you don't like the way they apply the verses then just let it go. Pray on what you have read. The Lord has given us the ability to interpret scripture so do it. Most of what they say is very true and encouraging. We joyfully became pregnant with our fifth child after reading this and prayerful consideration. No book is 100% accurate 100% of the time for 100% of all people. Take what you want from this and leave what you don't. I didn't agree with everything they say but it helped me to step away from the world's view of children and to see God's view. Children truly are a blessing, not because I say it or the Hess' say it but because God does. I am very thankful for the way the Hess' shared what they have lived.

5.0 out of 5 stars Info your church won't tell you, October 26, 2004

This review is from: A Full Quiver: Family Planning and the Lordship of Christ (Paperback)

This book is one of the ones that changed our family. We opted for surgical sterilization never thinking for a minute that interfering with God's plan for our family was sinful! We had four and by the world's standards that is a lot! Mr. Hess pointed out scripture that I never applied to that decision. How useful it was!! This book alone will not convict you, that is strictly up to God, a doubter cannot be convinced...but study it with your bible in hand and just see your convictions change. It is truly a worldly view that children are a burden, God says they are his blessing! Thank you God for using Mr. Hess!! Expecting #6!! 1 Timothy 4:4-For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving...

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must read" for anyone in child bearing years!, September 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Full Quiver: Family Planning and the Lordship of Christ (Paperback)

This book gave me a whole new perspective on family size. We have been conditioned to believe that a small family is normal, yet it is so contrary to God's word. This book gives you bible scripture to study and also challenges our own personal view of a very anti-children society. It tested my own view point and after I read this book it made me realize how much my thinking was wrong. I recommend that you buy a copy for yourself and at least one other for someone else that is suffering from infertility. I believe this could help give them hope. It's a book that must be shared with someone else.
