The Empty Womb

Does God See the Pain of the Barren Woman?The Empty Womb takes you through the author's personal journey with infertility told in a raw and captivating way. It includes a brave discussion about invitro treatments from a Christian perspective and explores the author's choices regarding adoption. This book delves into what scripture says about children and infertility in an engaging way and presents some fresh perspectives into the barren women of the Bible. The author discusses the five principles she discovered in scripture as she struggled to understand the 'why' of her own barrenness. From the author's point of view, the most important of the five principles is that the empty womb is a really big deal to God. God seesand hears the pain of the barren woman. Your Redeemer God says: It's with lasting love that I'm tenderly caring for you (Isaiah 54:8b).A study guide for individual or small group study is included! Having lived with infertility, I was comforted by Audrey's insight into Scriptures I have long avoided because the prayers of Sarah, Hannah, Rachel, and Elizabeth were answered but mine were not. This book opened my eyes to new lessons from these accounts. But most of all, The Empty Womb helped me understand that even in the pain of loss and infertility, God sees us and God loves us deeply. You may not understand why you are going through infertility, but this book will give you hope and encouragement on the journey to healing.Alane Pearce, Author Notes from the Margins: Healing Conversations with God, The Journey from Heartache to Hope
