Life’s choices have far reaching consequences

Sandra finds herself pregnant and her boyfriend convinces her to abort her baby. These choices set her life on a path of heartache and the journey to forgiveness and redemption. This is a tough topic and Lorana Hoopes has written a wonderful story that all Christians should read. The story shows all the loss from one abortion, and the journey to redemption.

Fantastic read!!!

I loved this book, it was so real for what some people go through. I had a hard time stopping it. I feel asleep and couldn't wait to finish it this morning. Recommend it to anyone that is or has struggled with the dession of choosing abortion over life of their unborn child. Love how she turned to God and started helping others that are in the same position she was in. Definately had me in tears several times.

Very Emotional Read

While I enjoyed the Pro-life message, it came at the expense of the aboration of two babies (very sad face). While one lady had a very ho-hum attitude about it, the orher was very distraught about her decision which ultimately lead her to the Lord and a relationship with him (happy face). This storyline has a lot of ups and downs, twists and turns and emotions. I did like the overall redemption message, because the Lord loves us no matter what and He will forgive us if we ask.

Love and Forgiveness

This story is a story of hurt, guilt, love and forgiveness. Sandra makes some life choices that leave her wounded and tormented by guilt. She meets Henry who invites her to church. Sandra begins a journey of faith but never quite finds the forgiveness she seeks. The story of Henry and Sandra is one that many couples could relate to. God’s love and forgiveness is a winning point for me. I would highly recommend this book. I enjoyed the narration as well and had no trouble following it. I received a complimentary copy and chose to write a review.
