Hiding Hope: A Journey of Faith Through Infertility, Miscarriages, and Miracle Babies - A Memoir

"When life throws you a curve ball, it takes resilience, determination, and hope to continue walking by faith and not by sight. In her book Hiding Hope, Linni Weishaar shares her personal story-and her faith in the sure promises of God-in the face of deep challenges, loss, and God-given miracles. With candidness and transparency, she takes you on a journey to walk closer to Jesus through every twist and turn on life's path." ★★★★★-Dr. Ché Ahn, Senior Pastor at Harvest Rock Church, Pasadena, CA, President at Harvest International Ministry, International Chancellor at Wagner University---If you have grieved the loss of a baby, you are not alone.Linni's deepest desire was to one day be a mama. She had spent years dreaming of what it would be like to hold her baby-only for multiple miscarriages and an infertility diagnosis to come crashing down on her faith. What followed would test Linni's courage to confront painful emotions while wrestling with unanswered questions about who God really was for her. She seemed alone, misunderstood by the church, and unseen by her husband. In the midst of pain and uncertainty, could she hold onto hope that Jesus would heal her body, mind, and spirit when circumstances were screaming the opposite of God's promises?Editorial Review★★★★★Endearing, inspiring, and heartbreaking all at once, Hiding Hope is the perfect book for anyone struggling with fertility issues. Linni does a wonderful job addressing the various stresses that come with trying to conceive-and facing the strong probability of that just not being an option-especially when living within a community that places fertility and childbearing on a high pedestal. Readers will appreciate the open rawness of Linni's honesty, and sympathize (if not empathize) with her struggles, her triumphs, and her genuine "Hero's Journey". It's real and genuine with every word, while still maintaining respect for everyone regardless of their helpful, and sometimes hurtful, perspectives. Linni doesn't hold back, and it's this passionate adherence to the truth and the opening of her heart to readers that truly touched me as I hope it will touch you.-Nikki Auberkett, Tala Editorial
