About this audiobook
Helps Christians to think biblically, speak wisely, and act compassionately on the complex issue of abortion.
Our culture is locked in a battle between two opposing worldviews on abortion. How should Christians advise those who are considering or being pressured into an abortion? How can we help those who are struggling with the emotional and spiritual fallout from abortion? What stance should we take in the public arena, and how should we conduct ourselves in conversations on these subjects?
In this short book, Dr. 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.
