Reproductive medicine; Infertility & fertilization; Surgery; Family & relationships; Advice on parenting

"This book is about our personal journey. It is in no way an endorsement of any particular method for conception, nor an attempt to give medical advice. Medical advances are made daily; so much of the advice given to us when we were trying to conceive may no longer be the current recommendation. Family-planning choices are both intimate and personal. Seek the advice of your own medical team, follow your heart, and listen to the answers to your prayers.

Scripture is a source of guidance and comfort for me, and I quote several of my favorite passages in this book. All Scripture references are from The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language, by Eugene H. Peterson.

I kept a journal during our journey, and many of the passages here are taken directly from that journal. They are the quick notes I jotted down-some in joy, some in grief, some in frustration. They are styled in italics, so you can see how I experienced events in the moment-without the benefit of hindsight. I have included my journal entries here in all their rawness because, in them, you may recognize some of your own reactions and be comforted by the fact that we got to ""the other side"" of whatever challenges we faced. I say ""we"" to assure you, you are not alone."

"Author of A ""Kingdom Puzzle-A Touch from Heaven"" and seven other books, Todd A. Rehnquist describes himself as a simple man, a Christian man. A business owner and lay minister, he is called to share his walk with God so that he can spread God's steadfast love, support, and forgiveness to all who would read his words. Todd's latest book, ""The Promise"", is his most intimate to date. In it, he tells the story of the in vitro fertilization journey he and his wife travelled. He doesn't hold back any of the tears that were shed in joy and sorrow...and ultimately victory. Todd and his wife, Nataliya, live in Texas and are the parents of five children and the grandparents to four grandchildren."

Reviews for The Promise: A walk of faith along the IVF journey

Life can turn on a dime, it is said. Todd and his Nataliya can surely attest to the veracity of that adage. The Promise is in turns heartwarming, gut-wrenchingly painful, and frustrating beyond belief, but it is always inspirational. At its root, it's a love story-the love of a man and woman, the love of parents for a child, the love of life, but most of all the love of God. No matter where you are on the IVF spectrum-and even if you are not concerned with the topic at all-you will not finish this story without feeling changed. - Ann Collins, Book Reviewer
