TRISH STEELEFounder, Safe Passage/Time2HealTHIS BOOK ON HELPING THOSE who have had or been associated with an abortion is easy to read and would make a wonderful basis for a Bible study on forgiveness for individuals or groups.

This book not only offers the hope of healing for those suffering the guilt and shame of abortion, but it also addresses relationships and other important issues. Most importantly, it points to the "greatest love, " which is the love of Jesus by His sacrifice on the cross for our sins!I recommend this book to counselors helping the post-abortive or to individuals seeking healing from abortion, and also to those wanting a better understanding of the effects of abortion.
MARY ANN AMBROSELLIExec. Director, Ventura Co. Pregnancy CenterLeader, Healing Hearts MinistriesAT OUR PRENATAL CLINIC, we often see women who face past abortions and miscarriages, or who have even suffered a stillbirth. Sometimes our patients are considering abortion because their current situation isn't a healthy one in which to raise a child. No two women's stories are the same. Having this book will give us a great resource, a book full of hope, a lifeline to offer any woman, and a way to help her see beyond her past decisions with a future hope.
FINALLY! I have many counseling opportunities to care for couples and individuals who have suffered with the guilt and shame of abortion. Though I share the love, mercy, and forgiveness of God in our Messiah, still there was always a need for a testimony of love, warm acceptance, practical advice, and the Good News for hurting people, from a woman who walked that trail of tears and came through it as an instrument of God's joy, help, and healing.
Michelle Shelfer is that woman, and this book is finally the much-needed resource for those in my situation who want desperately to help those who are hurting the most. Thank you, Michelle, for helping to address this great need in our society with compassion, kindness, and clarity, as you wonderfully "speak the truth in love" to all who are willing to take the time to open their hearts to Yeshua's amazing love and grace!DR.
