Item Description...
Can you imagine attending a wedding where the family of the bride prayed for her to have vast legions of children who would grow up to have dominion in the land for the glory of God? This was precisely the blessing offered by the sisters of Rebekah upon her marriage to Isaac. These sentiments beautifully harmonize with Scripture passage after Scripture passage which extol the virtue of trusting the Lord to control the womb and the necessity that believers be fruitful and multiply. For six-thousand years, believers viewed children as a blessing and reward of the Lord greatly to be desired. It was widely accepted that those who cut off their seed usually did so in violation of the express commands of God. Only in the last seventy-five years have child prevention and birth control become acceptable in the Church. Perhaps more than any other philosophical shift in the history of the Church, the modern anti-child philosophy has changed the way we view the role of fathers and mothers as well as the meaning of family life and multi-generational faithfulness. But genuine questions persist: Does the Bible address the question of child prevention? Is cutting off the godly seed ever an act of good stewardship? Are economic considerations a valid biblical ground for closing the womb? What about natural family planning? What about families that cannot have children? Is the widespread use by Christians of the pill, a child prevention device with abortifiacient potential, bringing judgment on the Church? Be Fruitful and Multiply answers these questions and makes the case that Christians should do more than just trust God for children, we should cry out to the Lord to bless the fruit of the womb.

 | Wonderful Book!!! Jul 11, 2007 |
| This book has greatly hepled my husband and I in our decision on child planning, birth control, and what God thinks about it. We have decided to trust God and let him plan how many children we'll have (we also plan to adopt more if it's His will)together. What freedom to give it all to God. My family and I have never been happier! Wonderfully inspired! | | | | Childbearing Jun 27, 2007 |
| Love this book about God's desire for us to have and raise godly children. If we as christians don't have children then how is the Word of God going to be spread. My husband and I believe we are building an army for God. I highly recommend this book to couples. | | |  | Trust in God, But Tie Your Camel to A Tree Apr 14, 2007 |
| Another wacky tome pushing a thoughtless, selfish worldview that claims to be Christian, but is right out of the Dark Ages. No, I'm just kidding, I support her premise -- having another kid is as easy as picking up another quart of milk at the supermarket. Don't worry, be happy, if you all starve, you can blame it on God's will. Worked out great for Andrea Yates, didn't it? | | | | Struggling with birth control, then read this! Feb 7, 2007 |
| Many have followed what the culture teaches about children. They believe there's nothing wrong with practicing birth control, especially since the Bible says nothing regarding it. Before you continue with that line of reasoning, I want to encourage you to read "Be Fruitful and Multiply." I think you will be surprised by what you read! | | |  | A very legalistic view of having children Jun 3, 2006 |
We are a family that does not use "chemical" methods of birth control for various reasons. I was looking forward to reading this book. But I found that she took many scripture references out of context. And her views were very legalistic and almost made me feel like a horrible person for considering the timing and spacing of my children. Most of our evangelical christian family does not "like" children. So I was hoping to find a reference for them to read. But I would never recommend this book to anyone else. They would find it incredibly offensive.
A better book I have found is The Contraception Guidebook, The : Options, Risks, and Answers for Christian Couples; by William Cutter. It presents the facts in a very straight forward manner and leaves the reader to make their own decisions. | | | Write your own review about Be Fruitful and Multiply
