Waiting in Hope gives women an uplifting, accessible resource to comfort, guide, and strengthen them through the journey of infertility. Featuring 31 reflections that address specific aspects of waiting and hoping, each chapter weaves personal narrative, Scripture, and prayers to encourage women longing for a child.

Weary mums have their pick of hundreds of Christian devotionals and books offering encouragement for the trials of motherhood. Women who suffer miscarriage can also choose from a handful of resources, thanks to an industry trend making space for books on grief. But what about the one in six women who face the heartache of infertility? Where can they turn for comfort and guidance while grieving their dreams and grappling with unfulfilled longing?

Waiting in Hope fills the gap for a biblically grounded, gospel-driven resource that specifically addresses the unique struggles of infertility. Offering 31 reflections filled with biblical wisdom, testimonies, and personal narrative, Waiting in Hope helps women work through their complex emotions, grow in their faith, restore strained relationships, and move forward in their journeys with perseverance and confidence in the Lord.

  • Much needed Christian resource for the nearly 15 percent of women who face infertility, childlessness, and extended waiting for a child
  • Compassionate, biblically rich devotional that doesn't give false hope or platitudes
  • Provides an infertility-specific, journal-like companion to use continuously throughout your journey

As seasoned infertility ministry leaders, Jenn Hesse and Kelley Ramsey have committed to help women turn to Jesus as their hope in sorrow. This book is the resource they wish they'd had ten years ago in the middle of their infertility grief. Women need to hear the good news that Jesus is with them in their wait, and that they can live a life of purpose regardless of how their wait ends.

About the Author

Kelley Ramsey has lived the story of infertility while journeying with thousands of women and couples in the past 10 years. She has experienced 22 years of chronic pain, years of infertility, three miscarriages, a cancer scare, a delivery with severe hematoma complications, a house fire, and brain surgery. Early in their journey Kelley and her husband, Justin, followed the Lord's prompting to share their story on a blog and start a local support group at their church. Waiting in Hope Ministries was born out of this desire to bring deeply rooted support to women and couples by proclaiming the message that Jesus is our hope. Kelley lives a full life between directing Waiting in Hope Ministries and finding joy in the chaos of motherhood. She and Justin stay busy chasing their two active boys who pray for an adopted baby sister. They live with their labrador, Jewel, in their beloved community of The Woodlands, Texas. When they aren't riding bikes or trying not to get lost on the trails, Kelley and her family enjoy relaxing with dear friends and neighbors in their happy place on the lake. Jennifer Hesse knows the depths of longing for a child. She and her husband, Colin, endured several years of treatments, surgeries, and a failed IVF cycle before welcoming their first son through a "stork drop" adoption and second son via surprise pregnancy. In 2021 she gave birth to their third son, another surprise from the Lord. While wrestling with her own grief, Jenn saw a need for women to find support as they faced the unique struggles of infertility. She co-founded a local support group at her church, then launched a second group when she and her husband moved to another state. After the Lord connected her and Kelley on social media, Jenn began serving as content director at Waiting in Hope Ministries, where she writes blog posts, develops social media content, and collaborates with a team of contributors. She and her family enjoy their home in Willamette Valley, Oregon. When they're not swimming, exploring parks, or cheering for the Seahawks, Jenn's family plays board games and racks up late fees at the library.
