Silent Cries: Experiencing God's Love After Losing a Baby - Paperback

by Jonny Ivey (Author), Joanna Ivey (Author)

When Edith was stillborn without warning, Jonny and Joanna were stunned and confused. Why wasn't anyone talking about baby loss? Where could they turn for help? Who would answer their burning questions?

One in in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage; one in 200 in stillbirth. And yet, while the church offers resources to cope with suffering generally, there is often an echoing silence when it comes to the trauma of baby loss. 'When we lost our daughter Edith, ' say Jonny and Joanna, 'it was painful indeed to find the lack of biblically rooted and pastorally sensitive resources.'

Nothing really hit the mark, so, through tears, they wrote this book. It comes to you, or someone close to you, with a massive hug. It is the authors' prayer and passion that you will be amazed by our great God as you connect with deep truths from the Bible, bringing healing to your heart, mind and soul.

'Will help us to grieve better when a baby in one of our churches dies.'
Jonathan Gibson

'Every grieving parent will empathize with Jonny and Joanna's Jesus-saturated lament.'
Marcus Honeysett

'More like a compassionate friend than a book.'
Tim Lane
