‘The Lord is close to the broken-hearted’

Dan and Anna Martin

In their book, Near to the Broken Hearted, Dan and Anna Martin relate how their little family of four were excited to be at a scheduled scan during the pregnancy of much-anticipated twins.

It became clear from the body language of the medical professionals that something was seriously wrong. Long story short, one of the twins had a life-threatening condition that pitched the whole pregnancy into a mixture of anxiety and dilemma. The twins were born alive, but one (Ethan) survived while the other (Jed) died after three weeks of complications arising from his condition.

en Reviews Editor, John Woods, spoke to Dan on the publication of the book he and Anna have written reflecting on these events.
