Blessings of Barrenness - How to Surrender Inferility and Pregnancy Loss (Paperback)

Women suffering with the anguish of primary infertility, secondary infertility, miscarriage or pregnancy loss experience intense and unfamiliar reactions and emotions such as obsession, loneliness, desperation and grief. While they undergo exhausting tests and treatments, others in their world accuse them of being ungrateful, moody and a little crazy. No one can relate to their feelings of emptiness -- not their mother, their husband, pastor, friends or family. Devastation, dissatisfaction and even shame set in as they search in vain for answers to "why?" Blessings of Barrenness answers this question by giving ten ways God uses a barren womb to accomplish His purposes. Ultimately, the only One who truly knows the answers is the Creator. He says His plans for each one of us are bigger than anything we can dream of or imagine. Through her testimony and the advice and encouragement of others, Kari teaches women how to get to the point where they surrender their plans and their timing for God's. After reading this book, readers will be earnestly eager to accept whatever His plans are for them, whether that means taking a break from testing, undergoing advanced procedures, adopting, fostering, or moving on as a complete family. Blessings of Barrenness teaches women to have faith during difficult times, fulfilled living, satisfaction with themselves, a greater appreciation for their husband and marriage, and realization that God uses trials such as infertility as a blessing in disguise.
