Synopsis

New from Bestselling Author Wayne GrudemAdvances in technology offer couples wanting to have children more options than ever before―fertility treatment methods; prefertilization genetic screening; and embryo adoption.

Wayne Grudem applies biblical truth and ethical reasoning to help Christians navigate these questions as they seek to live out God’s word in an ever-changing society.
