Rating: Summary: Excellent! Review: I have been dealing with personal infertility for over 10 years and this is the first book I've read that has thoroughly "hit every nail on the head." I would very strongly recommend it to anyone dealing with personal infertility and to those who are desiring to help bear this heavy burden of loved ones. If you are not sure how to respond to or help your loved one, this book will give you great insight. It was a blessing to me spiritually, emotionally, and even technically as I face Artificial Reproduction options.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Book! Review: I have found this book to be an excellent resource for dealing with all aspects of infertility, including marital relationships, doctor/patient relationships, and emotional aspects. It has been a great help as I have personally struggled through 2 1/2 years of infertility treatment and one miscarriage.
Rating: Summary: This is a wonderful book! Review: I searched for a long time for a book about dealing with infertility from a Christian perspective & didn't find much out there. I was thrilled when I found this book. It has really been a big emotional help to me, and I highly recommend it to anyone going through the roller-coaster of infertility.
Rating: Summary: Must read! Review: I so wish I had gotten this book when we found out we were facing infertility, instead of a year into the process. It has helped me to replace my panic with peace.
Rating: Summary: If you're not religious, do NOT buy this book! Review: I wish I had read this book six years ago--at the beginning of my infertility journey. This book is so on target, I felt as if it were written about me! I loved the chapter on "what others say"..I laugh now but haven't always laughed..! I laughed and cried thoughout each chapter.
Rating: Summary: Must Have for anyone Longing for a Child Review: I wish I had read this book six years ago--at the beginning of my infertility journey. This book is so on target, I felt as if it were written about me! I loved the chapter on "what others say"..I laugh now but haven't always laughed..! I laughed and cried thoughout each chapter.
Rating: Summary: If you're not religious, do NOT buy this book! Review: If you're dealing with infertility and you've asked yourself, "why me?" and you want to hear, "to bring us to faith in Christ", get this book. But, if you are not a die hard Christian, this book might nauseate you. I've been dealing with a "fertility challenge" for almost two years and have read several excellent books on the subject--this certainly was NOT one of them. It made me feel low and depressed and that was not my goal! I felt it was choppy and didn't flow in its content. Every sentence had God or Lord in it and every paragraph seemed to have biblical references and quotes. Too much. If you would like to read upbeat and happy books on the subject of infertility, I strongly recommend "Laughin' Fertility" by Lisa Safran and "Girlfriend to Girlfriend, a Fertility Companion" by Kristen Magnacca. Those books actually made me smile, which I really need right now! I've never written one of these reviews, but I felt so strongly about this book that I had to comment on it. Again, it's SUPER religious and if you're not, don't waste your money.
Rating: Summary: good book Review: not tons and tons of info, most is basic stuff you probably already know if you've been trying for more than a year. but I like the Christian perspective; I felt it was a very good book.
Rating: Summary: Much Needed Encouragement in this Area!!! Review: Sandra Glahn and Dr. William Cutrer have written a "Christian guide" to the practical, moral, marital, and spiritual challenges of infertility, and as such, it has brought my family some well-deserved help in this area.The books brings solid facts, detailed information, and a message of encouragement to infertile couples, and those who work with them, along with answers to questions they ask most often. Some of those questions we have asked, such as: -Should we consider high-tech fertility treatments? -What about donor insemination? Donor eggs? -How do we respond to nosy friends and relatives? -Where can we go for the best advice? -How can God allow this to happen? And there are other questions which you may find in your search for answers. There are 16 chapters of great information, and an appendix at the end for more information to seek out. This is a great resource!!!
