Misconceiving IVF: An Essential Guide to the Perils of In Vitro Fertilization

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is often hailed as a triumph of modern medicine, a compassionate solution for couples longing for a child. But beneath its promise lies a host of profound moral, theological, and ethical concerns that many Christians have never carefully considered.

Written for couples at every stage of the infertility journey, those struggling to conceive, those considering IVF, and those who have already undergone it, this book seeks to bring clarity where confusion often reigns.

Drawing from Scripture, ethical reasoning, and pastoral experience, this book aims not to condemn but to shepherd, helping Christians think faithfully, act wisely, and find hope in the God who opens and closes the womb.
