I have already purchased this book for someone close to me who has love it and will continue to do so!

As a pastor, I’ve walked with a lot of women who’ve faced the pain of miscarriage or the heartbreak of not being able to have children. I’ve given this book to many of them—and every time, I’ve seen God use it in powerful ways.

It’s honest. It’s full of grace. And it helps people meet Jesus right in the middle of their hurt.

If you—or someone you care about—is going through this kind of pain, I can’t recommend this devotional enough. I’ve seen it bring real comfort, renewed hope, and deep healing.

So many of us deal with infertility and it's so important to talk about and know that you are not alone. Our infertility journey has been 7 long years and I wish I had this book when I was in the darkest valley of my life. Thanks for an amazing book Whitney!

Whitney’s book is written with love, faith, kindness and compassion, the main “ingredients” anyone walking the journey of infertility and loss needs. As an ivf warrior myself and having lost a baby at 39 weeks and then another 7 week loss, I wish I’ve had this book in my hands 15 years ago when I started my journey. Beautifully written!

If you are weary, discouraged, or even feeling faithless on the excruciatingly painful journey of barrenness, this book will be a balm to your soul. Whitney writes like a compassionate friend who is eager to put her arm around you and walk alongside you. She offers wisdom and comfort from Scripture, raw honesty from her own experience of pain and doubt, practical advice for persevering in this complex and often isolating trial, and even some occasional lightheartedness that will make you smile. Regardless of the trial you might be experiencing, Whitney lifts our eyes to Jesus, and reminds us to trust in the God who sees us, loves us, and has the power to save and heal. Whitney offers “The Barren Cry” as a gift to her many sisters in Christ, as 2 Corinthians 1:4 says, “so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.“

Whitney sent me a copy for a friend who suffered a miscarriage at 5 months along. I decided to read it myself first and wow. Her words are inspiring and so encouraging. This 21 day devotional takes you through scripture as well as her personal journey through infertility AND grief. She shares the darkest points in her life and how she took hold of her pain and shared it with the world to help other women going through the same thing. Amazing Whitney. Great read!! Thank you for your courage in sharing your story!
