Faith is not what you demonstrate to get what you want--it is what you demonstrate no matter what you get.

Shout Out for a Wonderful Book

Infertility: Help, Hope and Healing
By: Kerstin Daynes

The official video trailer for her book:



I highly recommend this book, not just because it is written by my sister, but because I truly think this book is amazing. Even if you are someone who is not dealing with infertility personally, this book can help you. It is a book for anyone who knows someone dealing with infertility (which all of us do). It helps us to understand how we can be more sensitive and compassionate. The principles within can also be applied to anyone who deals with any kind of adversity (which we all do).

From her books website:

Along with empathy, inspiration, and strength, you will find…
  • Practical strategies for coping with infertility.
  • How to make sense of infertility by using principles of the gospel.
  • Validation of sorrow and disappointment.
  • Ways to find meaning in life beyond infertility.
  • A consideration of the differences in male and female responses to infertility.
  • How to offer support to couples dealing with infertility.
Check out her website for more information. She also has another website here (or click on the button on the side of my blog) that is a wonderful resource to learn and understand more about infertility from an LDS perspective.
