Life can take unexpected turns, and sometimes those turns can be devastating. When Doug first met Christine, he knew that she was the one he had been waiting for. It was as though God had brought them together, and that their love was meant to be. And even as they faced some of life's greatest challenges, it seemed as though nothing could stand in the way of their happiness. But then Christine was diagnosed with cancer, and everything changed. Suddenly, the future they had planned seemed uncertain, and the love they shared was put to the test. Doug watched as Christine fought bravely against the disease, but despite her strength and determination, she eventually lost her battle, leaving Doug to face a world without her. In the midst of his grief, Doug struggled to find meaning in what had happened. But as time went on, he began to realize that there was a purpose in their suffering, and that Christine's death was not the end of their story. Doug discovered that God had a plan for their lives before they were even born. Their love was a part of that plan, and Christine's death was not a tragedy, but a part of a greater purpose. The story of 'Butterfly' is a testament to the power of love, hope, and faith. This inspirational book is a must-read for anyone searching for meaning in the pain of grief and loss, reminding us that God has a plan for us all, and that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope.

You can't wait to look at the test; you just knew for sure you were pregnant. Clothes seem to fit tighter, your appetite increased, and you can smell anything. But when you read the negative pregnancy test, the reality of your situation sinks in: you are still dealing with infertility.And you are not alone. One in eight couples struggle with starting a family, watching others see their parenting dreams come true as theirs seem to crumble. However, your infertility is not a punishment, but a journey that God has placed you as a couple on to learn and grow from. It is a chance for not only a husband and wife to endure together, but a chance for those around them to aid in that growth.The new book Empty Hands Made Full delves into infertility, from biblical times to present-day, as author Blair Parke discusses a topic many know about but few talk about. Having struggled to start a family with her husband Jeremy, Blair shares with readers their infertility journey to instill important truths about childlessness and how others in the Bible experienced the same dealings with infertility until God answered their prayers.As a secondary part, the book also focuses on helping those closest to couples dealing with infertility, advising ways they can help a couple best during this difficult time. The additional testimonies of four brave women are offered here as well to illustrate how infertility has affected them and ways people reached out to help that demonstrated God's presence in their lives. Infertility is not something anyone wants to experience, but the hope is that Empty Hands Made Full can offer a little encouragement and reminder that God still has plans for your parenting dreams.
