Hannah's Hope
Hannah's Hope has been one of my favorite books during my journey of infertility and loss. I had it read in just a couple of days and now refer back to it often when I need an answer to a question or just need some encouragement! I highly reccomend this book to anyone struggling with infertility or loss, or to anyone who has a loved one going through infertility or loss!

Loved this book!
This is a wonderful book for anyone dealing with pregnancy loss, adoption loss, or miscarriage. Hearing the story of Hannah and then seeing how her story relates to mine made the Bible come alive in a new way. The "Burden Bearer" sections are especially helpful for those in ministry to want to reach out to couples dealing with these difficult struggles. This is a book I plan to share with others!

Dealing with Losses from Infertility, miscarriage, and adoption
Hannah's hope is a book written for women who having suffered the loss of a child through miscarriage, infertility and/or adoption. It also contains information that would be helpful to spouses and families. The author has lost ten babies due to lost adoptions and miscarriages. She writes from a point of experience in her 10 year struggle to have a child. She uses scriptural lessons from the story of Hannah in the Bible and gives some great encouragement to those who are angry, bitter, and even depressed. Each chapter contains a section at the end for further thought on the chapter topic and information for families and loved ones, entitled Burden Bearers. This last section gives some information to those of us who have no idea what this experience would be like. The book also contains many resources and definitions of terminology. Though I am certain in is not all encompassing, it seems like it would be a great resource to those dealing with these losses.

Inspirational and Encouraging
Any book that deals with infertility, miscarriage and failed adoptions is not going to be an easy read. Yet Jennifer Saake has done readers a great service in writing this book as it deals with the heartbreak felt by those who look for a longed for child and are left empty handed.
The author speaks from painful experience, having lost ten children through miscarriage or failed adoptions. While she now enjoys the blessing of two children Joshua and Ruth, her many years of struggle with childlessness led to the writing of this book – which is part bible study and application, part life story and journals, part resource and very certainly part encouragement and people struggle through the stages of grief.
This book records the anger, grief, longing, isolation, questions, struggles, tears, sorrows and answered prayers along the journey of childbearing. It shows our humanity and discouragements but it very tenderly shows us that others do share our pains and burdens, both practically and in prayer and we have an all-seeing, all knowing God who knows His plans and purposes for us.
The book title ‘Hannah’s Hope’ refers to the Hannah found in the first two chapters of the First Book of Samuel. Throughout the book, parallels are offered between the infertility or sterility experienced by prospective parents today and her situation then. While I buckle slightly at the elaboration of the details offered to us in the Bible as being an ‘imagining’ and ‘fictionalised look’, I don’t doubt that the intent is good. I can certainly see that the application set against a variety of true-life stories will be helpful to many who are at different stages of planning their family.
Clearly some will read this with joy and some with tears, but this is a much needed and useful book. I would say that it has a searing honesty in some of its chapters on themes such as prayer, faith and compassion of people in the wider church, how churches deal with the pain of losing a child and a very personal yet universal meditation on anguish and grief. A useful addition to a church library.
