Someone Stronger: Helping Men Take Heart after Abortion

By Kim Ketola

Abortion wages a battle within the heart of every man who sponsors it or becomes an unwilling bystander. How can men resolve this struggle involving his role as protector, provider and father? Someone Stronger, Helping Men Take Heart after Abortion examines biblical accounts of two men whose spiritual problems required intensive care--and applies their stories to help men meet the spiritual challenges of life after abortion whether they welcomed the choice or not. Abortion hardens a man’s heart or leaves him heartbroken over his lost child. But there is hope for every man to renew his spiritual strength. Be encouraged. God says, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you."
