MORE ADVANCE PRAISE "With grace and truth, the authors bring clarity to the Christian conundrum about abortion." --Lynn Cory is leader of Neighborhood Initiative and author of Neighborhood Initiative and the Love of God "In this challenging and timely book, Hammond and LaBonte point out that more than half of the abortions performed in the United States in a given year are obtained by those who identify themselves as Christians." --Craig von Buseck, Author and Editor of Inspiration.org "Everyone has been told all we need is love, but what the world really needs is truth.
