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

Love as a virtue encapsulates all other virtues in life, and we all have it in us. However, we can choose either to embrace this innate virtue and share it with the world around us or suppress it. You can't say you've lived if you haven't loved or been loved. Everyone is a product of love or has been in love or has loved, but not everyone can say they have loved perfectly. In Love: The Only Virtue, author Dr. Jude Dike offers insight and perspective into the virtue of love. He communicates that to love perfectly is to transcend the hate, differences, and judgmental opinions both internally and externally to a higher realm of harmony with your source, self, and the society. To love perfectly is to embrace what we have in common with our source, society, and surroundings and work toward understanding the uncommon territories. In this guide, Dike presents familiar views but also steps into unfamiliar terrain about loving perfectly. He communicates that love is the foundational and all-encompassing virtue. You need love for the other virtues to function, and they cannot exist in their perfect state without love.

When it comes to sex, many of us have been sold on the idea that certain techniques and tools are surefire turn-ons. If those techniques don't work, and we don't connect with our partners or our own pleasure, then something is inherently wrong with us. But sexologist Jaiya has identified five erotic types that, like Gary Chapman's The 5 Love Languages, empower people with the understanding that we are each erotically gifted and that our differences are our strengths. Jaiya's framework will help readers bridge the sexual incompatibility gap, become masters of their own sexual desire, and experience the deeper connection and sexual satisfaction that they crave.

People always wonder how a book like this comes to be . . .McArthur: I have spoken of Heavenly Mother to thousands of women. Every single time, I see the Spirit move women with such power. Women get lit on fire! I was thinking about what Mother in Heaven means to every single person, and I wanted to hear their voices. Ashli: I had a project on my heart. I felt inspired to create a book of poetry about Heavenly Mother that included the stunning artwork of Latter-day Saints who are inspired by this doctrine, a sort of "Grown-Up Girl's Guide to Heavenly Mother." For months, the Spirit prompted me to reach out to McArthur and I finally sent her a message. We spoke on the phone and gave ourselves twenty-four hours to pray about it. I fasted and went to the temple. As I enteredthe Celestial room and sat down to pray, the revelation came. "yes, Ashli! This joyful doctrine is true. This is our work. Write the book. Just make sure you are still pointing people to Christ." I called McArthur from the car and shared this revelation. She went quiet for a few moments, then replied, "Wow. I got the same revelation. Let's get to work!"Trina: I saw a social media post from McArthur and Ashli asking for contributions for a new Heavenly Mother book, and immediately wanted to be part of the project. I'm a writer and editor so that's a typical reaction to seeing book proposals. But this time felt different. It was a prompting I've had before: the Spirit points and says, "There. Go. Right now." And I am restless until I follow through. I'm not a poet or an artist, but I can organize the heck out of manuscripts. Within minutes, I sent McArthur a message. In a few more minutes, my phone rang and that was that.Joined together, we asked: What does Heavenly Mother mean to each of us? What does Heavenly Mother mean to others? This is not a book of doctrine. This is not a book of speculation. This is not a book intendedto answer all, or any, spiritual questions. This is a book of musings of the soul. Everyone was welcome to contribute. Every person is a beloved child of Heavenly Mother and Father, and that means something different toeach of us! The mediums of poetry and art are just two of many ways for us to communicate spiritually. If our Heavenly Parents are infinite beings, then there are infinite touch points to honor Them.We organized the contributions around the Gospel Topics Essay "Mother in Heaven," to support study of that vital document. We also included scriptures and quotes from prophets and other Church leaders to help guide us. The Church is the "scaffolding" to our faith, but we want to be clear that the vignettes are personal. We hope the offerings within these pages bring joy to your soul. You have a Mother in Heaven!

We all go through seasons of waiting, times when God just seems to have closed His ears to us and turned His back. During those seasons, it's easy for us to give up hope and lose heart. But what if we hold on to the hope that God is working behind the scenes, even if we can't see Him? What can we learn from those times of waiting? Shannon Brink has experienced those seasons herself-after various injuries forced her to stay in bed for weeks on end, while she was facing possible infertility but longed to be a mother, as door after door closed on her dreams of living in a far-away land, and now as she waits for sleep to come while battling chronic insomnia. As a former nighttime nurse, Shannon knows that the hardest time of the waiting season is at night, when our thoughts take over and worry invades. Drawing from her own experiences and from the examples of God's people in the Bible who also experienced seasons of waiting, Shannon encourages the reader to hold on to the One Who created us and has only our good in mind. While waiting in the dark, cling to the Light.
