New from Bestselling Author Wayne Grudem
Advances in technology offer couples wanting to have children more options than ever beforefertility treatment methods; prefertilization genetic screening; and embryo adoption. With all of these options available, plus the blessing of adoption, it can be difficult for Christian couples to determine which to consider when the Bible doesnt give explicit direction. Wayne Grudem applies biblical truth and ethical reasoning to help Christians navigate these questions as they seek to live out Gods word in an ever-changing society.
