Hannah's Hope: Seeking God's Heart in the Midst of Infertility, Miscarriage, & Adoption Loss (2005)
Insightful and heartfelt encouragement for couples dealing with infertility, miscarriage or failed adoption. Building on the story of Hannah (First Samuel, chapter 1), Jennifer Saake interweaves her personal experiences with advice gleaned from over ten years of providing aid to grieving families through the support network she co-founded with husband Rick, Hannah's Prayer Ministries.
While remaining true to the very real and anguishing emotions of longing for a child, Jenni continually directs her readers back to the comfort and strength of a compassionate God. Each chapter concludes with a special "Burden Bearers" section offering practical suggestions for pastors, family members and friends.
Please come read the first chapter on my website. It's free! :)

About Jennifer Saake, InfertilityMom :)
|
Hi, I'm Jenni, a.k.a. "Hannah". No, I've never lived in Montana. ;) I'm talking Hannah as in 1 Samuel, chapters 1 and 2. My "split personality" is attributed to co-launching Hannah's Prayer Ministries and writing the book Hannah's Hope.
While Hannah is a huge part of my life, there's much more too. My parents, Ralph and Betty Camp, are with Cadence International (formerly Overseas Christian Servicemen's Centers or OCSC) so I grew up around the military, moving as frequently as military families. I attended 9 different schools by the time I graduated from high school (including 2 different homeschool seasons/locations) and have lived in at least 22 different homes all over the US and 3 parts of Japan. I am a high school homeschool graduate and attribute much of what God has been able to do through my life to the study skills I learned at home. Rick and I met my freshman year of college at The Master's College (John MacArthur) in southern California and married 2 years later. I have one older brother who lives in Washington with his family -a big ShoutLife welcome to my SIL Diana!
I'm probably best described as a "hat juggler". What hats am I juggling? Let's see...
- Wife of 15 1/2 years
- Mommy of 2 sons and 1 little princess after many years of infertility
- Mommy to 3 more in Heaven and Mommy-At-Heart to 7 who did not come home through adoption
- author ( Hannah's Hope published by NavPress in 2005, contributing author to a handful of additional books, multiple periodical articles, several more books in various stages of development)
- homeschool teacher to a 3rd grader and a Kindergartener
- toddler mom in the midst of potty training adventures
- work-at-home mom as a representative for Blessed Toys and a consulant for Affordable Mineral Makeup
- founder of the Inner Beauty Blog and Inner Beauty for Girlz & Teenz, offering makeup tips, beauty secrets, book and product reviews, contest, GIVE-AWAYS and more.
- international infertility and pregnancy loss support network co-founder, Hannah's Prayer Ministries
- managing chronic illness since age 18
- Christian, actively pursuing a relationship with God
For infertility and/or loss support, please join us in the Shoutlife Hannah's Hope encouragement group!
View my bio, blogs and sample chapter of my book, Hannah's Hope: Seeking God's Heart in the Midst of Infertility, Miscarriage & Adoption Loss (Nav Press, 2005), at www.HannahsHopeBook.com.
Blessed Toys offers quality Christian toys and dolls including 12 inch "talking" Messengers of Faith dolls, 18 inch "America Girl" style Proverbs 31 dolls, and Tales of Glory figures! These are wonderful for church and school fundraisers. :)

Jenni, sorry to be so late responding to your note. I was away most of June and returned home sick and just now trying to catch up on things. Thank you for recommending Rest Ministries, and I will check it out when I get a chance. The publisher for my poetry books is PublishAmerica, and you can go to their website, http://www.publishamerica.com/ for more information and submissions. Living Waters is a Christian publishing company, and they are doing my children's books, which are still with the illustrator now. Their website is http://livingwaterspc.com/
Blessings,
Connie

I think perhaps it would be wise for us to commit to NEVER introduce our sisters to each other as the world perhaps would not survive. Tell me about yourself - and your interesting ID name. Sue

Ah, you're the second person to ... not ask! My younger sister thought it would be hysterical to get her four kids to call me "Uncle Sue" - revenge for the early years I suspect although I claim complete innocence!! :) It's lovely to be here at SL. I've never felt so welcome.

One Rose For Financial Wealth
One for Everlasting Happiness
Several for Success
