Can you tell them thank you! I've been reading and now listening to ODB since my early teens. I'm sure they hear that a lot.     Infertility journey– Can you tell us a little about you and your wife's infertility journey, whatever you are comfortable with telling us?    Praying Through Infertility–that's how we met. How did you gather everyone, how did you choose? Was it 37 contributors total? Do you feel that your previous books led to Praying Through Infertility? At least most of the books? I say most because Open House is about writing if I'm correct?    The author of eight books, including Reflect with Sheridan, The Making of Us: Who We Can Become When Life Doesn't Go as Planned, Resurrection Year: Turning Broken Dreams into New Beginnings, and the award-winning Unseen Footprints. His writing has been featured in various publications…   Can you speak to childless not by choice men for just a moment on how to best deal with or manage the pain women may not be able to understand?    As we close out, can you give us, the childless not by choice community,  a word of encouragement?
