Hope and Encouragement - in a practical way!!, July 28, 2003
This review is from: A Hope Deferred: A Couple's Guide to Coping With Infertility (Paperback)
It's said that one in six couples will experience the agony of infertility, and approximately 50 percent of those couples will eventually conceive and carry a child to full term...50 percent will not. This is not always a good thing to hear, but, whether an infertile couple eventually have a child or not takes second place to the agony of waiting, and to the pressure of coping with a daily grief that affects every area of a couple's life - from career decisions, to the marriage relationship, to faith in God's wisdom, and compassion.
Jill Baughan had a birth child in 1981, but she and her husband have struggled most of their married life with infertility, as well as secondary infertility.
She's written a book that's meant to help, and even if you're in the middle of things which are confusing, she offers practical, gut-level emotional hope and encouragement. And this is as it should be. It's not always a great journey.
Highly recommended book!!!
