Rejoice Thou Barren tells our personal story of dealing with
infertility and how God has taught us to rely on Him for strength and
grace.
This book provides a challenge to women who have
been blessed with children as well as comfort and encouragement to those
who have not.
Coping with infertility is a heartache that never really goes away until
you are blessed with a child. If you've never personally experienced
the sorrow of infertility, you can't truly understand the pain that
accompanies this challenge.
"...There are three things that are never satisfied,
yea, four things say not, It is enough:
The grave; and the barren womb..."
Proverbs 30:15-16
Before I was married, I never dreamed that I would have any trouble at
all conceiving a child. In fact, I'd dreamed and planned of having at
least a dozen!
Even as a child, I thought of myself as a
"wife and mother" type of person. To me, it was the highest calling to
create a warm and wonderful home for my would-be husband and children,
and to bring my children up to love and honor the Lord. I couldn't
wait!
Little did I anticipate the surprise that God had in
store for me and the lessons He intended to teach me through the sorrows
of dealing with infertility.
After 14 years of marriage and
dealing with infertility, my husband encouraged me to write Rejoice Thou
Barren and share our growth of faith with others who were going through
the same struggle.
"Every
mother and every woman who wants to be a mother should read this book.
Every couple who has struggled with not being able to have children
should read and reread its pages.
Angie Berg has so vividly opened up her heart in this book. I have known
the Bergs for many years and I know that Don and Angie are very much in
love in spite of their difficulties. I have seen this dilemma of not
being able to have children blow marriages all to pieces. In other
marriages it has caused a very strained relation, though they stayed
together.
I am thankful for Angie’s honesty. Though she has committed her
barrenness to the Lord, she still longs for a baby. The Scripture says
in Proverbs 30:16, the barren womb never says “enough.”
God bless you, Don and Angie, for surrendering to His will."

Have you ever thought about this?
What is it like to
be a barren woman? What is it like to long to be a mother with children
of your own, and yet be unable to have your longing fulfilled? To wonder
how it feels to have your newborn miracle nursing at your breast and
experience that special bond that only a mother can know?
How
does a woman endure the knowledge that she may never have a little girl
with her own pug nose and unmanageable hair, or a little boy who smiles
and walks just like his daddy? Who will she teach to sit like a lady? Who will she train to hold open the doors? Whose dirty hands will leave
prints on her walls? Whose smiles and giggles will brighten her days
and make the daily tasks seem less bothersome to perform? Who will she
tuck into bed in the evening with kisses and hugs and goodnight prayers?
Does
it hurt when her friends are all mothers with little ones? Is it hard
to sit in a group of ladies who are all telling stories about the antics
of their own special treasures and know you are the only one with
nothing to share?
Does she feel of less value as a woman
because she has not been able to give her husband children to follow in
his footsteps and carry on the family name?
I can't explain how other women have survived the heartache that comes
with dealing with infertility, but by opening my heart in the pages of
this book, I hope to encourage others who have felt this same emptiness.
Perhaps, too, I can inspire those who have been gifted with children to
come to a greater appreciation of God's wonderful blessing in your
little treasures.
I hope reading our story, Rejoice Thou Barren, will be a help and
encouragement to you or someone you love who is coping with infertility.
