Of Souls and Snowflakes

“Mothers are ordinary heroes, whose mighty deeds are usually masked by their mundanity. What makes this maternal story special is the weaving together of technological miracles with the miracle of a heart opening up to greater grace, by means of great tragedy and personal limitations.”

Eric L. Johnson

Professor of Pastoral Care, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary


“With Of Souls and Snowflakes, Tiffany Childs has given a thoughtful, personal, and inspirational account of a family’s desire for children that dramatically illuminates the intersection of the Gospel with the modern world. Situated within the contemporary world of cutting-edge reproductive medical technology, her story is nevertheless an age-old account of how amid the stresses and desires for children, the enduring message of the Gospel remains not only the hope that sustains in the midst of suffering and loss, but also gives the framework for human existence itself. Hers is a story about how the promises of God for his people are the foundation for the house that not only stands firm in the midst of the wind and waves of life, but gives its inhabitants the radical confidence to stand on the rooftop, singing his praises.”

Tiffany Childs is first and most simply a woman loved by God, which is amazing first and most especially to her. There are few things she enjoys more than engaging an empty page, blank canvas, strong cup of coffee, and really good music (sometimes simultaneously) in the company of her husband Micah and five children, Andrew, Elijah, Isaac, Eliana, and Isabella. Even though she is a native of North Carolina and loves the mountains, she calls Louisville, Kentucky home.
