The Christian Woman's Guide to Menopause

Your body is changing. Your worth is not.The hot flash at three in the morning. The tears that arrive without a reason. The appointment that left you with more questions than answers. The quiet fear that you are becoming a woman you don't recognize.If that's where you are, you are not broken, and you are not alone.Dr. Amy Cravey, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, is a nurse practitioner and certified Christian counselor who has spent years sitting with women in exam rooms during this exact season - women who were told to simply push through, or handed a prescription with no explanation, or left to wonder whether their faith should have made this easier. Alongside pastoral insight from Rev. J. Brad Puckett, she offers something different: clear clinical answers and honest spiritual companionship, in the same book.This is not a lecture. It is twelve conversations, the kind you'd have with a trusted provider who also happens to understand your faith.Inside you'll find: - Plain-language explanations of what is actually happening in your body - and why no one told you sooner- Real help for the sleep that won't come, the moods that swing, and the body that suddenly feels unfamiliar- Straight talk about hormone therapy: what the research says, what the risks are, and the questions to bring to your provider- Nutrition and movement guidance that works with your changing body instead of against it- Frank, gracious discussion of intimacy and the tender places women are rarely invited to name- Why your heart and bones need your attention now more than at any point in your life- Scripture (New Living Translation), reflection questions, and a practical "Living It Out" step closing every conversationMenopause is not a punishment, a failure, or the end of your usefulness. It is a passage - and God has not stepped away from you in the middle of it."Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day." - 2 Corinthians 4:16There is life still calling your name.
