by Susanne Maynes (Author)
You believe in the value and dignity of every human life. You're troubled by the legal deaths of millions of innocent, preborn children, but you're not sure how to help. Maybe you feel ill equipped to reach distressed mothers and fathers whose lifestyle and worldview are unfamiliar to you. Maybe you're intimidated by the controversy surrounding the sanctity of human life. Or maybe an old secret has kept you shamed, silent, and uninvolved. It's as if you're standing on a riverbank, wondering how to reach those on the other shore. What if you found out you're wired with a bolder love than you thought possible? What if God has been equipping you all along for your role in the battle to rescue his beloved little ones? What if you let Jesus lead you into a deep understanding of how to minister to women and men facing pregnancy decisions? It's time to unleash your courageous compassion
