Synopsis "No Less Blessed: Seeking god in the Wilderness of Infertility and Childlessness"
In a world that champions parenthood, how do you maintain your faith when feeling defeated by infertility?Many couples dream of expanding their family and experiencing the joy of raising a child. Unfortunately, for countless men and women, this dream is deferred due to the challenge of infertility. Their path to parenthood becomes plagued with hardship and recurring loss and extends into a prolonged season of emotional, financial, and spiritual despair. Their heartache leaves them feeling isolated and excluded from those who have successfully welcomed a child.If you have ever struggled with infertility, or know someone who has, this book provides encouragement, sound reasoning, and inspiration to pull hurting couples out of the abyss of pain to restore their confidence and embrace their worth. In contrast to many other books on the topic of infertility, No Less Blessed challenges the enduring perception that couples struggling to build their family are "less blessed" than families with children.Author Erica F. Mitchell presents an uplifting, Bible-based perspective on infertility that compares the narrative of the Israelites to the journey of infertile couples. She offers a deeply personal, unapologetically transparent glimpse into her own experience and invites readers to gain long-awaited insight to help recognize God’s love and presence in their lives, even during their most difficult moments.No Less Blessed will speak to the hearts of childless women asking "What about me?" Those wondering if God has heard their prayers for a child will be strengthened by this biblical perspective reminding readers that sometimes God leads His people through the wilderness without explaining why.
