David,My wife experienced two miscarriages before being pregnant with our son (three months away), and I scoured the internet for good resources that would be helpful. She’s not an avid reader, so I was hoping for audio, I found an mp3 by Sue Nicewander with CCEF that was on the topic, and burned it to CD – my wife listened to it two or three times and really appreciated it. It can be found here (among some other helpful ones):http://www.firstbaptistwb.org/sermons/2009/Counseling%20Seminar/Enjoy your blog a great deal have a soft spot for fellow Scots in exile!),Angus

Well, what a fantastic response. Thank you so much. That’s a really powerful example of Christians using the internet for good. I’ll compile the list and post it so that we have it all in one place. Maybe we should do the same for other issues and problems people face, crowd-source the books and other materials that people have found helpful and bring them together in one place. What do you think?

Michael – thanks for your kind words. One thing we’ve learned is that when the *greatest* desire of our heart is to have a baby, that’s not a godly desire (although that doesn’t sound right in a card ). From a broader perspective, we’ve been helped greatly by Piper’s “Desiring God” and the excellent materials from CCEF on having a God-centered view of ourselves and the world around us.
