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 Will drastically challenge your way of thinking about kids!, January 18, 2000

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

This book challenges the very heart of parenting. It forces you to either see children as blessings and gifts from God or as necessary burdens we must bear in this life to somehow prolong our names. After reading this book, my husband and I not only had a different outlook toward our own children (and as to how many we have), but it also gave us a new outlook on children in general. I think all Christian couples should read this book to help balance the perspective of childbearing we have received in a world that tries to pawn our children off to others as their responsibility.
