What happens after an abortion? When you can't go back and change the past, is there forgiveness or spiritual recovery? God still has a plan for you. There is always forgiveness and freedom when you turn to Jesus, this world's only redeemer. This minibook includes the story of Marcie Schneider, a woman who hid the dark secret of an abortion, a pain she had to endure alone. Let Marcie's counseling bring healing to you as she shares her story of redemption. This minibook will help you discover how to forgive yourself. After Marcie was pressured into having sex with someone at a party at fifteen years old, her first abortion was monumental in the steps she took thereafter. Feeling weak and invaluable, Marcie continued to seek happiness in the temporary satisfactions of this world. Though Marcie knew that there was more in this world for her than the anger she felt, she didn't realize how close she was to feeling complete freedom in Christ's mercy. Abortion to Mercy includes a Bible study by Paige Henderson that highlights the mercy that Christ has on us, despite sins we've committed. We don't always understand his love and forgiveness for us, which makes it hard for us to love and forgive others. Paige shows you verses from the Bible that will give you wisdom and hope for God's plan for your life. Abortion to Mercy will bring you hope and wholeness. It will speak to your heart and will strengthen your faith. It includes questions and Scripture passages — along with space to journal.
