This review is from: Five Steps Toward Post-Abortion Healing (Paperback)

This book has allowed me to start living and feeling again after 23 years. I appreciate the courage it took to not only go onto healing from abortion and its aftermath but to assist others in their journey toward healing.

Thank you and God Bless Holly

5.0 out of 5 stars HOPE and HEALING after ABORTION, April 26, 2002

By 

Margie Jensen (Stark City, Missouri) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Five Steps Toward Post-Abortion Healing (Paperback)

"Always remember that JESUS forgives you, loves you and is healing you every single day! The peace of Christ be with you!"...These words are the last 2 sentences in the Book, 5 Steps toward POST-ABORTION HEALING. Those are the most comforting, most peaceful words that I read over and over again that help me get through the roughest guilt-ridden days. I wanted a miracle and I wanted to be healed 'right now'... so I skipped to the last chapter -Step 5- entitled "Rejoice and Renew" I didn't want to go through Remembering that I really, actually, murdered 3 of my children and who knows how many grandchildren. The did not want to go through the painful, slow process of post-abortion healing, so I skipped to the INSTANT CURE: Forgiveness. I received this booklet from the SISTERS OF LIFE in NEW YORK; They gave it to me for free on October 11th, 2002 one month after "9/ll" which pales in comparison to the 41+million thats 41,000,000 babies who have been murdered in the United States at the hands of their own mothers before they even had a chance to work in the Twin Towers...and I am own of those Mothers who murdered her own children. The most difficult chapter that I have not been able to get through is Step 2-Looking Back-Retracing Events-Forgiving-Birth and Death Dates. I cannot remember, that's how far back in my denial memory that I have pushed it. I do not know. I remember having more guilt over stealing a 1 cent pretzel when I was a kid, than after "having an abortion". I didn't know that "having an abortion" was actually murdering my own flesh and blood just like the woman who is going to prison for drowning her 5 children. I had help doing Step 3-Naming your child after going to a Project Rachel Retreat. I did Step one, one day 5 or 6 years ago. I ran through all the 10 commandments one at a time and I had committed all of them...When I got to the 7th Commandment, "Thou shalt not Kill" I said I didn't know that having an Abortion was Murder like shooting someone with a gun. It is easy for me to relate to Step Four entitled ."Turning to Mary, the Sorrowful Mother...I am a Sorrowful Mother too, but I did it to myself as the difference JESUS was an INNOCENT victim like the babies who died at the hands of others. In Step 5 - The "TEN SUGGESTIONS for Reaching Out...is what I have been doing to stay out of Self Pity and Depression. I have been trying to find copies of , "5 Steps toward Post-Abortion Healing" to buy and give to others or leave on the back of the Church rack. Step 2 chapter about Forgiving the People Involved, Well I hope they forgive me for having them drive me their as an accomplice to murder. I am angry at Planned Parenthood for not explaining to me what I was doing. No Counseling Before or After. I needed the STEPS to walk me through forgiveness of "Planned Premeditated Murder" They never have 'Planned' any of my pregnancies...they only tried to Prevent them and 3 times their methods of birth control failed. STEP FIVE - REJOICE and RENEW focuses on REACHING OUT...TEN WAYS to STAY ALIVE and help other people which gives me a reason to live. PLEASE GET THIS BOOK and READ THIS BOOK AND START THE HEALING JOURNEY..."TRUST JESUS IN HIS LOVE FOR US AND YOU WILL NEVER BE AFRAID" as a final note on p. 55-56 "God Bless you on your journey toward healing...
