Book Description

New Life Live! Meditations September 2003
Most couples don't think about fertility--that is, until they decide to start a family but encounter unexpected difficulty with conceiving. Women in particular may feel that their bodies have let them down or conclude that God has somehow cheated them. Is this true? Does God still care?

Infertility can be a scary, intimidating word. Author Ginger Garrett knows this from experience. By looking at what the Bible says about the issue, offering sample prayers and pointing out positive steps couples can take as they search for answers, she gently leads people to a new sense of hope in God's compassion. Most important, they will come to know that through it all, God always cares.

More About the Author

Hi friends,
I'm a novelist who occasionally turns my research into a nonfiction book for my readers. I have a special passion for history, with a love of women's history and biblical stories.
I began writing after a devastating car accident which plunged me into darkness, depression and fear. I was told I could never have children and began a journey through infertility and miscarriages. During this time, I could find nothing to comfort me on the bookshelves. I decided to write what I needed to read. One year later, I had an agent and a deal. (The book, Moments for Couples Who Long for Children, is out of print now and available only on my website, gingergarrett.com)
Since then, I have written novels about women in history that have forever touched our modern lives: Ane Boleyn, who fought to give us the right to read(Shadow of Lions), Queen Esther of Persia (Chosen: The Lost Diaries of Queen Esther), and the women who survived the terror of the Black Death (In the Arms of Immortals) plus the fascinating and powerful ancient beauty secrets of biblical lands (Beauty Secrets of the Bible).
My hope is that when you turn the last page of one of my books, you feel strengthened for the journey ahead and that I have found more than a reader: I hope I've found a friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars True Comfort For A Trying Time, January 20, 2004
By A Customer

This review is from: Moments for Couples Who Long for Children (New Life Live! Meditations) (Paperback)
This book is an incredible comfort and guide to any couple struggling with infertility. Ms. Garrett touches on an extremely broad set of issues, from the Christian perspective on fertility drugs to handling insensitive comments, trusting friends, dealing with doubt, etc. She provides a Bible verse and spiritual guidance on each issue. This book would also make a very thoughtful gift for friends or family dealing with infertility.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most comforting, March 29, 2005
This review is from: Moments for Couples Who Long for Children (New Life Live! Meditations) (Paperback)
In my struggles with infertility and miscarriage, I have found Ms. Garrett's book the best one out there. My husband and I use this as a devotional each night before we go to bed. The short stories have hit right on the mark of feelings and situations we are experiencing, and give practical, Biblical advice on them. It is great to hear what God says about our struggles, and I am so glad that this book is available. Highly recommend it to everyone who is searching for comfort on their most awful days.

This review is from: Moments for Couples Who Long for Children (New Life Live! Meditations) (Paperback)
I am not extremely religious, but definitely believe in God and that "everything happens for a reason". I found this book to be most comforting to put things into perspective and put my mind at ease while trying to conceive. Whether you are impatiently waiting or suffering from a physical impairment blocking your ability to get pregnant, this book is great.
Also recommended: "Healing Mind, Healthy Woman" by Alice Domar.
