About this book

Our culture is locked in a battle between two opposing worldviews on abortion. How can we help those who are struggling with the emotional and spiritual fallout from abortion? How should Christians advise those who are feeling pressure to abort their child? What should we be saying in the public arena, and how should we conduct ourselves in conversation?

In this short book, Lizzie Ling and Vaughan Roberts survey the Christian worldview and help us to think biblically, speak wisely and act compassionately as we engage with the people, the questions and the heartache surrounding abortion, in a society with very different values.

Endorsements

At a time when many churches are conspicuously silent on the thorny issue of abortion, this well researched, easy to read, and compassionate book will be  an invaluable resource. When does life begin?  
Is abortion "okay"...?  Does God care? I recommend it for anyone and everyone who's ever struggled with these kind of questions, as well as for those coping with grief.

Lynda Rose CEO Voice for Justice UK

The subject of Abortion remains emotive, divisive and for many women deeply personal and painful. Dr Ling’s book provides a compassionate, yet clear call to take the Creator God’s Word on this important subject seriously. Speaking personally, I felt much better informed and far better equipped to speak truth in love and to show love in practice as a result of reading this book. I highly recommend it.

Alison Eloff Women’s Worker at St James Church Kenilworth, Cape Town, South Africa

In order to be bearers of “good news”, the church must first see that there is a need for an alternative; a better story for a world which is so often led by notions of self and autonomy. Fifty two years after abortion was legalised in Great Britain, rates of abortion have never been higher. Women are encouraged to “shout your abortion” and society apparently demands unlimited “choice”. In this very accessible little book, Christians are invited to think again about what “good news” is for the woman facing pregnancy crisis and for her unborn baby. And it has perhaps never been more necessary to do so.

5.00 stars A much needed book for everyone

 

A long awaited book giving women help with abortion issues from a Christian perspective not a secular one. Brings comfort, healing and most importantly a surety of God’s abiding love and forgiveness if we will just talk to Him and trust Him. Thank you to everyone involved with this book.

(Review written for 'Talking Points: Abortion (ebook)')

How encouraging to read such a balanced, calm and clear outline of the issues around abortion, non-judgmental, compassionate and loving. I can heartily recommend this as a resource book for those in leadership who seek to nurture and counsel both women and men whose hearts are hurting because of the loss of a baby in utero.

5.00 stars Abortion- Dr Ling and V Roberts

 

An excellent book- easy and quick to read. Gives an excellent review of abortion - full of grace, forgiveness and mercy. All the horror of abortion is presented alongside the call for the Church to rise up practically In this area to bring forgiveness and restoration to broken hurting women, men , grand parents etc Surely this is an area the Church should be speaking in to - truthfully and lovingly.
