"It’s hard to explain in words the way this book has impacted me. God has used it to help me see in a greater light the blessing that children are. Yes, as Christians we believe that they are a blessing from God but subconsciously we could be holding reservations or believe LIES from the toxic and feminist propaganda we have grown up with, which have led us to the anxious, depressed, childless, lonely, and godless society we live in� okay I digress. Although the book looks at women with big families, it has been so encouraging for me (a mom of 2). I feel more secure and excited about the call that God has given me as a mom. I’m no longer wishing for a specific number but simply open to whatever God has for us as a family with regards to children.
Some things (lies) that I’m glad she addressed/debunked were: overpopulation, kids being expensive, people are bad for this world, “losing yourself� in motherhood, kids make marriage harder and causes divorce, and others I already can’t remember haha
There were many funny and wonderful stories but the ones I found the most moving were those showing how babies can help people heal emotionally, overcome hardships, tragedy, or bring families together, almost as if they were therapeutic. God’s design is truly beautiful, mysterious, and wonderful.

I RECOMMEND!

Listened on Spotify. Narration was great!"

"Love, love, love. This book and I went through SO much change in the 6 months I slowly read it.

I look back at all of it and see how contentment has been a consistent theme that God has used to teach me that His timing alone is good, makes sense, and brings true glory to Him and joy for me.

Makes me giddy to think of all that lies ahead in life! I can’t wait to reread this, out of gentle reminder or deep need, and never stop learning of my God being the source of all contentment in this life. "
