A community of individuals navigating the same journey of infertility stands together in camaraderie

In the upcoming year, readers will have the opportunity to access the book "Praying Through Infertility", a publication aimed at providing comfort and support to those navigating the challenging journey of infertility. Authored by Sharon Jaynes, the book features 36 contributors from diverse ethnicities, offering a wealth of experiences and insights.

Sheridan and Merryn Voysey, an Australian couple residing in the UK, have bravely shared their own story of dealing with infertility and finding solace in faith and a supportive community. The Voyseys, with Sheridan being a communicator and Merryn a scientist, have found a largely positive experience of support from their Christian community during their journey, but they acknowledge that this is not always the case for others.

Some individuals have found it difficult to discuss their infertility issues within their Christian community due to a lack of understanding or empathy. Regrettably, there have been instances where those going through infertility have been scolded for lack of faith or inappropriately preached to by their community.

"Praying Through Infertility" seeks to address these challenges by fostering a sense of community and empathy. The book is written with a focus on hope, empathy, and accompaniment, aiming to help readers stay close to God and each other while dealing with infertility. The book also features male contributors who speak with honesty, vulnerability, and humble faith, offering a unique perspective on this often-isolating experience.

The book is not just about faith, however. Studies show that infertility can negatively impact a man's self-esteem, masculinity, and even career. "Praying Through Infertility" acknowledges these challenges and offers practical advice and emotional support to help readers cope.

The article discussing the book was published in Evangelical Focus under the culture section. Evangelical Focus is also currently running a sustainability campaign called #OneMoreYearEF, which aims to raise awareness and support for various causes.

Infertility can be a difficult and isolating experience due to lack of understanding from those who haven't faced it. "Praying Through Infertility" aims to bridge this gap, offering a supportive community and a reminder that readers are not alone in their journey. Sheridan Voysey, in his belief, sees the book as a helpful resource for those struggling with infertility.

The book "Praying Through Infertility" is set to be available on several platforms in 2024, providing a valuable resource for those seeking comfort, understanding, and hope during their infertility journey.
