Hope Deferred

Has life not turned out how you expected?

What if turning to God is painful? What if fear and doubt are making it hard to hope? Is God causing infertility in order to teach a lesson? Is God able to intervene, but choosing not to for some reason? Why is everyone else able to get pregnant so easily?

Review:

"Raw. Daring. Brutally honest.These are a few of the things that make Jillian's book so engaging, helpful, and worth reading.With gut-wrenching openness and self-awareness she beautifully lays out her and her husband's struggle with infertility. Not afraid to admit doubt and even a bit of anger toward God. She takes the reader to the deep, dark places that many if not most avoid. In taking the reader to these painful places she, with the help of the Spirit offers hope and healing.Hope Deferred brings freedom to struggle, freedom to admit pain, and freedom to say life is not OK. It gives the reader permission to feel - even to feel badly. It opens doors of exploration that are rarely opened and in so doing it offers divine grace in ways that are rarely seen. If you or someone you know is struggling with the pain of infertility this book is a must read. If you or someone you know is struggling with pain of any kind. This book is a must read."

"Hope Deferred is a book filled with hope. Jillian shares her heart and the struggles she has faced and overcome during her journey with motherhood in an honest and vulnerable way. She also provides scripture and biblical truths to combat the lies we hear and tell ourselves along the way. As someone who has struggled with infertility for years, Jillian's book gave me hope and a sense of peace. If you or someone you love is struggling with infertility and making sense of it all, please share this Truth-filled book."
