This is taken from The Vision Forum:
Imagine a wedding where the family prayed for the bride to have legions of children who would have dominion in the land for the glory of God! This was the blessing offered by the sisters of Rebekah upon marriage to Isaac. For six thousand years, belivers viewed children as a blessing and reward of the Lord. Only in the last seventy-five years has child prevention become acceptable in the Church. The modern, anti-child philosophy has changed our view of fatherhood, motherhood, family life and multigenerational faithfulness. But genuine questions persist: Does the Bible address child pervention? Is it ever "good stewardship?" What about "natural" family planning? This book makes the case that Christians should cry out to the Lord to bless the fruit of the womb.
