Why do we say "We got fixed" when what we really mean is "We had the doctor break a system that was functioning exactly how He designed it to?
I have been reading this book. It is the one that started the whole "Quiverfull" movement.
This book boils down to asking one question:
Is God really Lord of ALL your life?
I find that most Christians think He is but have a definite blind spot when choosing how many eternal souls (babies) they will allow God to bring into this world through them.
If you want to know why so many are now having larger than average families, why the Duggers are like they are, What the Bible says about babies, then read this book. The Hesses answer all the questions you would expect: overpopulation, finances, health, etc. that are given as reasons to limit family size.
I highly encourage EVERY Christian couple to read either "A Full Quiver," "Be Fruitful and Multiply," or "Children: Blessing or Burden?" You already know the anti-child, small-family side of the argument. At least find out the reasoning behind the other viewpoint.
Oh, and PRAY ABOUT IT!
If I accomplish nothing else, If I get you to honestly seek God's will about the size of your family, I have succeeded.
