Read another preview from The Jericho Plan book,
then get a free copy to share with your pastor.

This is Coerced Abortion Awareness Week (April 15-22, 2012). You can still participate and "light one candle" of hope and illumination, versus those who are tempted to curse the darkness!

This week, we're offering another book preview and a reminder to join this simple outreach. Just sign up and get a free book for your pastor that will help him to look at this issue in a new way and encourage him to teach and preach about it from a unifying perspective.  

You'll also receive supporting materials and project ideas to use this week or anytime, if you wish.

Here is another excerpt from The Jericho Plan: Breaking Down the Walls Which Prevent Post-Abortion Healing by Elliot Institute Director, Dr. David C. Reardon.

Who Should Read this Book?

No matter what your views are on abortion, or what your religious tradition, this book will be useful to you and we encourage you to adapt it to your needs.

This book is prepared from what is clearly a Christian and biblical perspective.  But the basic messages of outreach, reconciliation, hope, and community support are common to all faiths and can easily be adapted for use in any religious tradition.

This book is also prepared from a pro-life perspective; indeed it is a major part of our pro-woman/pro-life initiative.  Our ultimate goal is to create a society where meaningful help and support are offered to those in crisis, where no vulnerable woman, girl or family will ever be coerced into abortion, and where individuals and families who have been hurt by abortion are allowed to grieve and heal from their pain.

We want people to know that abortion exploits and harms those involved and ends the life of their unborn children. But we also want them to know that our faith communities are places where those at risk or those who have been directly or indirectly involved in abortion can find support and help. We should be careful in what we say, think and do and conscious of the ways that our response can drive away those hurting from abortion. We never want either our attitude or their own feelings of isolation or shame to prevent anyone from seeking, finding, and experiencing God’s help, hope and healing.

You'll receive other materials to share, if you wish, during Coerced Abortion Awareness Week -- or anytime -- plus simple project and outreach ideas that individuals or groups can do.
