SynopsisBe a healer. Learn how to help others--or yourself--find emotional and spiritual healing after an abortion. In this book, you will learn why women and men experiencing unresolved grief over a past abortion feel trapped. Unable to express their pain or seek the comfort of loved ones. On one hand, they fear that those who are pro-life will condemn and reject them. On the other hand, they fear that those who are pro-choice will deny their need to grieve and reject the reality of their pain. Prepared with input from experienced post-abortion counselors and clergy, this book will teach you how to break through these and many other obstacles which prevent post-abortion healing. You will find in this book comfort and direction for yourself, your loved ones, and your acquaintances. Learn the seven steps involved in post-abortion healing. Become a "stealth healer," providing hope to those plagued by unresolved abortion grief--even if their abortions are still being kept a secret. Learn how a message of compassion toward those who have had abortions will unify your community and reduce hostilities between those who are pro-choice and those who are pro-life. Use dynamic examples of God's mercy and forgiveness to create a healing environment in your church community. While useful for anyone interested in post-abortion healing, this book is especially directed toward ministers and clergy. It solves the difficult problem of how to preach on the abortion issue in a compassionate and unifying way. It provides background information on post-abortion issues, compelling testimonies, sample sermons, and an extensive directory of resources. Be a healer. Begin by reading The Jericho Plan today. About the Author David C. Reardon, Ph.D., is a biomedical ethicist and the director of the Elliot Institute and editor of The Post-Abortion Review . He has been actively involved in post-abortion research and education since 1983. Previous related works by Dr. Reardon include Making Abortion Rare: A Healing Strategy for a Divided Nation, and Aborted Women, Silent No More, and Forbidden Grief: The Unspoken Pain of Abortion with Theresa Burke., Over the last thirty years, abortion has touched literally every extended family. The resulting trauma has resulted in broken relationships, substance abuse, self-destructive behavior, eating disorders, patenting problems, alienation from God, and more. Most of the 50 million American women and men who have had abortions are haunted by their experience. But there is no socially acceptable outlet for expressing this forbidden grief. So they bottle up their feelings -- or explode.Forbidden Grief lifts the veil of secrecy shrouding abortion's devastating impact on the emotional and spiritual health of women, men, and their families. Through first-hand accounts and insightful analysis it reveals the many ways in which memories of a past abortion intrude into women's daily lives. Readers will also learn the inside story of the post-abortion syndrome cover-up and the related political controversy. This gripping, unforgettable book reveals the secrets that post-abortive women only tell their therapists -- but want everyone to understand.Forbidden Grief addresses the need of tens of millions of women, family members, and friends who want to know how abortion has affected them or their loved ones. And most importantly, it describes, in a Christian context, the path to healing and peace.
