New from Bestselling Author Wayne Grudem

The topic of reproductive issues is a sensitive one that every married couple must face. Advances in reproductive technology offer couples more options than ever before to have children—fertility treatment methods; embryo adoption; prefertilization genetic screening; and the blessing of adoption. With all of these solutions available, it can be difficult for Christian couples to determine which to consider when the Bible doesn’t give explicit answers. Theologian Wayne Grudem applies biblical truth and ethical reasoning to these problems in order to help Christians navigate issues surrounding birth control, infertility, reproductive technology, and adoption as they seek to live out God’s word in an ever-changing society.

“Psalm 119:105 reminds us that God’s word is a ‘lamp to my feet and a light to my path.’ In characteristic fashion, Wayne Grudem has thoroughly applied the word of God to many of the reproductive technologies available today. This book can be a lamp that brightens the path of many couples struggling with the physical and emotional pain of infertility. At the same time, it will illuminate an ethical pathway through the maze of reproductive-technological choices that health-care providers face every day as we counsel our patients.”
