Mum... Let Me Live

By George Calleja

Over the years it has been on the author’s mind to write a Christian book addressing abortion. For different reasons the author delayed writing this book, mainly because many authors have already successfully published books tackling this subject. Also, being a very controversial subject, the author felt it was not yet the right time for him to concentrate on writing this book.

During this time, while publishing other Christian books, the author listened to several different podcasts and watched various videos related to abortion. The author was open to listening to the arguments brought forward by those in favour of abortion and also by those not in favour of abortion. Reading online newspapers concerning this subject also brought the attention of the author to what was going on in his own homeland country of Malta, what went on in the United States, within the European Union and other countries in the world concerning different legislations and laws that came into effect regarding abortion.

Being a Christian and a practising Catholic, the intention of the author upon writing this book was to bring forward to the reader of any faith, denomination, culture, whether being in favour or against abortion, the voice of the unborn baby. The author wishes that this simple book give the opportunity to the reader to listen to the voice of the unborn baby pleading: ‘Mum... let me live’.

Reading this book will hopefully bring new light to the reasons why the author and so many other people are against abortion and in favour of life. The author wishes whoever reads this book, to do so with the freedom to agree or disagree with what is written, but at the same time to give time to one’s heart to listen also to what the unborn baby has to say: ‘Mum... let me live’.

Thank you for making time to read this book.

George Calleja

During the years 1990 to 1996 I was a full time missionary with ‘The International Catholic Programme for Evangelization - ICPE’ and have evangelized in various countries, such as Russia, Ghana, Poland, Germany, and Malta amongst others. Since 1997, I am married and am an active member of the Focolare Movement in Malta.During the six years of my life as a missionary with ICPE’, to share His Love in different countries, I did face the challenge of saying ‘Yes’ to Him. It was a difficult decision to make, as I had to leave everything behind: my family, my friends, giving up my job... But as I had a deep faith in Him, I told Him 'Yes’... I will follow You... trusting, that he would take care of me in all aspects of my life. That prayer of mine opened the doors for me to give my ‘Yes’ to Him... to follow Him.In the following six years as a missionary, and also after that time, Jesus has always taken care of me, has always provided me with blessings and grace, and has also taken care of me financially. Through faith, and my personal relationship with Him, He has taught me how to trust Him, and how to really follow Him freely and in peace.During my time as a missionary with ‘ICPE’, I recall going through different sacrifices. There were times when as a group we performed a mime in the streets of Germany and other countries, to bring forth the message of Salvation, together with our testimonies and preaching. It wasn’t the first time that people watching us made fun of us, laughed at us and ridiculed us. I used to feel the pain... but during the same occasion, I would see other people receiving our message of hope and desiring Jesus... that would encourage me to keep on going spreading the Good News!Many times, I have turned to Him in prayer for direction in life. He has always shown me the way in these situations. He has shown me what to do and what to say.My recent experience of Jesus showing me the way, is precisely of writing Christian books. Since the early nineties when I was a missionary, I always felt this desire inside me to write books with a Christian theme. I never really understood what this meant, or maybe I did not take up the challenge at that time. Maybe, I never had the time to do it! Still, over these years I kept feeling that He wanted it from me! Since that time, it has always been in my heart... but it was never fulfilled!My ‘Yes’ to take up this challenge happened in November 2014, and since then, I have published 15 Christian books. God has paved the way for me to do it. I do sacrifice myself to write these books, as it needs time to write and to publish. But, I thank Him, that through this challenge, although it is tough, it is also peaceful and it is rewarding to see other people appreciating my work, and receiving the messages I write... which are based on Jesus’ love to us, that is, His Salvation.My writings are a simple message of encouragement for life, to make the reader think about what life is all about, and to give the reader a challenge to live life through God's Love. My writings are based on my Christian values, and I try to reach out to all people in the world, whatever their belief is, as I believe that every person is able to love his neighbour. So through my writings, I present the message to the readers to have this personal relationship with God and to love every person through God's love.So, I do appreciate your prayers and support, that I may continue to publish Christian books. And finally I hope that you enjoy my writings and be blessed by reading them.If you want to contact me personally please email me at :- [e-mail]

Come to Me

From the book by George, and that is what I am doing and learned as well, or maybe better, try to do it over and over again, even if I fail, because Life has taught me to be patient, to be forgiving, to start over again, to love and above all to trust in HIM.

Great book to read.

Waking up the sleeping giant

I am giving this book a 4 star because I don't like to give 5 stars to religious books because many don't believe and have a hard time connecting with a book like this.

Yes… I will follow Him

What touched me the most is the story of the author's personal response of Yes. His story proved that there is a God and He is always there for each and every one of us.
