In the fast-paced lives we lead it can be difficult to fully sit, read, and study a book in its' entirety. Hope for Today offers self-contained, bite-sized chapters for those battling fertility issues, or who've lost a little one at any time from conception. Despite the heartache, the frustration, anger, and disappointment you may be experiencing; regardless of the grief, pain, and sorrow, the highs and lows, and the uncertainty, Hope for Today will remind you that you are absolutely not forgotten, not forsaken, and certainly not unloved. On the contrary, you are the apple of a loving Father's eye. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He knows and sees and understands .... even when we do not.

A Common Thread is a collection of sixteen brave and honest accounts of fertility issues and miscarriage. Each journey is unique; yet each contributor shares truthfully from their heart the highs and lows they have been through; how their journey has affected their faith and how God has brought them through. Although the physical, emotional and mental toll can be unbearable for those who find themselves facing these battles, there is hope. Within this book you will read the stories of those who have experienced successful IVF, failed IVF, multiple miscarriages, miscarriage after having children, adoption, miracle births, and those who have never been able to have children. Although we all experience the journey differently, we all share 'a common thread' of understanding. You are not alone.
