When Empty Arms Become a Heavy Burden brings solid facts, detailed information, and a message of encouragement to infertile couples and those who work with them, along with answers to the questions they most often ask.
Infertility brings endless questions. Should we consider high-tech treatments? What about donor insemination? Donor eggs? How do we respond to nosy friends and relatives? How can we keep our love life healthy? Whatever God has in store, this book will help you and/or those you love to face the future with faith and confidence. Our other infertility book, The Infertility Companion, looks more at the ethics of high-tech treatment. This book does include ethical considerations, but it focuses more on the emotional, spiritual, and marital journey.
“I appreciated the frankness the authors use in addressing sexual concerns—the same frankness found in their classic book Sexual Intimacy in Marriage.”
