The Miscarriage Project: Testimonials Of Parents Who Found Hope In God is a raw, powerful, honest, healing, and important read. At its core this book about grief, loss, healing, hope, and all the challenging emotions and moments that fill the in-between. This author shares her personal experience with miscarriage as well the accounts of nine other mothers and fathers who have struggled with loss. I admire that this author writes honestly about her pain, anger, guilt, and confusion. This is a very Christian book which includes scripture, stories of relational struggles with God, and expresses a deep faith in God. What I love most about this book is the voice and acknowledgement it gives to the pain those who have lost a child in any capacity have experienced. I personally have not experienced this, but this book helped me grow my compassion and understanding of those who have. I am grateful I read this book!

Using her testimonial as a springboard to talk about miscarriage, A. C. Babbitt relates her experience and that of others in her audiobook, The Miscarriage Project. Babbitt recalls her feelings at the time of and after the miscarriage of her son, Timothy Lyle Babbitt. She created a blog, and, with their permission, she recounts the stories other women commented as they comforted her and shared their private moments of infant loss. The book moves beyond the initial shock of miscarriage and follows the grieving process past the short period of time society usually allows.
A.C. Babbitt has constructed a book that will be a treasure to families who have lost a child due to miscarriage, stillbirth, adoption, or abortion, and offers them peace through biblical scripture and comforting words. Fathers who have lost babies can find solace in Babbitt’s words, too, as the author’s husband and a teen father describe their experiences. Applicable scripture will speak to readers and outline women’s struggles as they relate their shaken and renewed faith. The author communicates grief while still providing hope to struggling mothers who have lost future hopes and plans for their unborn children. Even though Babbitt speaks about loss, fear, guilt, and anger, the book provides hope in the form of understanding, sympathy, and faith in God. The Miscarriage Project is a great selection for anyone who has lost an infant and can benefit from the written memorials, so they know they are not alone.
Deja Nance is a popular narrator as she is credited with over twenty books on audible. Her voice is smooth and even, transporting the reader seamlessly from one chapter to the next. Even though several women and two men contributed to the book, Nance conveys their pieces easily, as if she is relating them through the voice of the author. The book was delivered in a calm way, extending a level of peace to readers. Without a hiccup in the sound, the reader will have smooth transitions between sections and no background interference as they enjoy The Miscarriage Project.

Touching personal testimonies. I felt the emotions with the personal stories in this read because I've had two miscarriages. I never handled my grief like these stories long term, but I certainly had similar questions following each miscarriage. I was never angry at God like these ladies. For my testimony, my perspective was different because a Christian doctor told me at the time of the first miscarriage, that God was being kind to me because the baby would have been deformed as it was just a mass of cells never properly formed into a fetus. I never felt I had a baby in heaven. I felt mine was a promise of life from God that simply went back to being a part of God. My 2nd one did not trouble me because I already had my daughter and the 2nd one came at a bad time in my marriage. It was easy to apply the same theory applied in the first miscarriage. God did me a favor, gave me a blessing, because my marriage was so unstable. It was NOT a good environment for a small life. After that I never attempted another pregnancy and as suspected the marriage ended in divorce. God always has a plan bigger than ours. HE alone knows best and we can stay spiritually and mentally healthy by trusting God's divine intervention when miscarriage happens. That is my testimony. 💞🙏 This is a good read but will trigger your emotions if you've experienced miscarriage.
