Infertility

the best Christian books for infertile women

(This post contains affiliate links. Read my full disclosure.)

 

As with any list, every book here may not be helpful to you. Many were just what I needed, some I included because while they did little for me, others have shared how greatly they were impacted by them. You will quickly find that most are faith-based and there is a reason for that. As a Christian, I believe there is a unique way to look at trials in life– and I naturally turn to others who are also looking to God for answers.

This is not a list of books that offer ways to get pregnant, but rather, ways to deal with infertility from in the middle.

    Confessions of a Childless Mother: Learning to trust God through infertility, by Sarah Fuller
    (available on Amazon, but cheaper from Amazon UK since she’s from Northern Ireland)
    There’s a review available here: http://www.evangelical-times.org/book-reviews/book/1457/Confessions+of+a+Childless+Mother

    I have read this and found it helpful to have the perspective of someone many years into the infertility journey — how to balance moving on and hoping. Excellent theological understanding (unlike some others I have tried reading).

    Barren Among the Fruitful, navigating infertility with hope, wisdom, and patience by Amanda Hope Haley.
    I have just started to read this book along with a group of women from a private Facebook group in support of infertility.
    From your list of books here, do you have any specific order you would suggest for reading? And thank you for this list!

    If you could pick one to start with…which would you suggest? Other than 1000 gifts. I already have (and love) that one!

    Two books by Bob Sorge- The Fire of Delayed Answers & Pain, Perplexity and Promotion- were really life giving to me in the midst of infertility.
