When Mandrakes Don't Work

Author Malcolm O'Dean and his wife, Shane, secretly endured years of agony for not being able to have a baby. After everything else had failed, a seldom-thought-of statement from Psalm 113:9 became their encouragement, their motivation, and their empowerment for fulfilling their desire to have their baby. The O'Dean's personal experience with the highs and lows of having a baby is held dearly as their only qualification for sharing their story with the world.

In When Mandrakes Don't Work, Malcolm confronts the social pressure to become pregnant and have a baby, and he dispels the myth of being cursed if you don't get your baby. This story reveals that with God, neither time nor age, nor can conditions or circumstances, impede your destiny. It discloses how to end the frustration of unsuccessful rounds of in vitro fertilization, ritual cleansing, feng shui, and conjugal positioning.

When Mandrakes Don't Work helps you understand why people of all ages are either secretly or openly zeroed in on having a baby. Above all else, it bears truth to the words of the songwriter Jim Reeves: "It is no secret what God can do. What he's done for others, he'll do for you."
