Labor with Hope: Gospel Meditations on Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood

By Gloria Furman

Pregnancy is filled with anticipation, questions, and often an overwhelming stream of advice. From books and blogs to well-meaning family and friends, women are constantly told what to expect and how to prepare. Yet amid the excitement, many mothers also face uncertainty, fear, infertility, miscarriage, difficult pregnancies, or the challenges of childbirth itself.

In Labor with Hope, trusted Bible teacher Gloria Furman gently points women to the enduring hope found in God's Word. Exploring pregnancy, infertility, miscarriage, birth pain, and new life through the lens of Scripture, Furman helps readers see how their experiences fit within God's greater redemption story.

Rather than offering merely practical advice, this encouraging Christian book reveals the deeper spiritual realities woven throughout motherhood and childbirth. Through biblical insight and gospel-centred reflection, women will discover that Christ provides the strength, comfort, and hope needed for every season of the motherhood journey.

Whether you're expecting your first child, walking through pregnancy after loss, struggling with infertility, or supporting a loved one through motherhood, Labor with Hope offers rich encouragement rooted in the truth of God's promises.
