Often when hearing the bible stories we think of the characters as far off, distant, and hard to identify with. This book closes the gap. It explains how we can relate to the matriarchs, how we can get a glimpse of what they went through and what we can learn from them in a practical way. I would definately recomend it.

The tone of this book is at once incredibly honest and deeply warm and empathetic; it feels like having a conversation about a painful subject with a friend who really wants to help you find some clarity. The tone is chatty, peppered with jokes and anecdotes to ease you through difficult subjects. The ideas and various points really stay with you, following you as you move back out into the world after reading it. Her analysis of various Biblical figures is interesting and novel, and opens up the area further.
I personally found this book incredibly useful in beginning to approach all of the complicated emotions that are aroused by infertility. I think, as a side point, its worth reading even if you don't share a particular Biblical orientation with the author. I have never read a book quite like this one on the subject.

I think the book has something for everyone, not just those that can't conceive, in that it has advice on how to deal with any disappointment in life. I found it a very powerful and moving book.

i could not put this book down. it really sheds light on the infertily issue from a spiritual and historical side. it is a great book for anyone suffering from infertility.
