Foreword by Dr. Juli Slattery
When it comes to reproductive health, women have questions.
- What can I do about painful periods?
- Why are my cycles irregular?
- What are my options for family planning?
When we think of being a woman, it’s easy to feel the pain points. Yet, as believers, we desperately hope there’s more to it than this.
Certified FertilityCare Practitioner Caitlin Estes believes that female bodies matter, that our reproductive design isn’t intended to be pointless and punishing, but infused by God with significance and purpose. Drawing from her theological education and clinical expertise, Caitlin connects theology, women’s stories, and practical education in her essential book Woven Well. In it, she equips us to:
- Understand and celebrate our unique biology
- Advocate for excellent and compassionate women’s health and fertility care
- Explore menstruation, the hormone cycle, ovulation, and conception
- Think biblically and counterculturally about family planning, hormones, and fertility
- Face brokenness in the reproductive field with courage and grace
- Connect more intimately with our Creator
Woven Well explores culture’s broken perception of the female body and paints a theologically rich alternative. God designed female bodies for our flourishing and for the flourishing of the world. Readers discover just how much this influences our options and expectations for things like birth control alternatives, infertility treatments, and reproductive medicine.
If you want to navigate women’s health issues and questions with confidence, honor your design as an image bearer of God, and reclaim God’s dignity for the female body, you’ll find this and more in Woven Well.
