This book is about finding hope, faith, and purpose during seasons of waiting — especially when those seasons involve the unfulfilled longing for children. Chandler and Susan share alternating perspectives—Susan’s emotional, reflective narrative and Chandler’s biblically grounded insights—to illuminate both the female and male experiences of infertility. Their intent is not just to tell their story but to walk alongside readers who feel alone in similar circumstances, offering spiritual companionship and scriptural guidance.

Chandler Grimsley is the college and associate teaching pastor at Dayspring Baptist Church. He holds a master of divinity degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
Susan Grimsley holds a master’s degree in accounting from the University of South Alabama and taught high school for seven years. They enjoy participating in ministry together and currently live in Alabama.

In the Waiting is not just a story about infertility — it’s a story about faith refined through delay. The Grimsleys show that waiting can become a sacred place where God reshapes dreams, strengthens marriages, and deepens reliance on Him, even when prayers are not answered the way one hopes.
