From the Back Cover

Coming to terms with the pain, guilt, and grief of an abortion

Forgiven and Set Free, an inspired Bible study that can be used by individual women or by a group, effectively ministers God's healing grace to women who are suffering remorse and guilt after an abortion.

This study was developed out of Linda Cochrane's experience of being freed from the bondage of guilt and grief that followed her abortion. "As I read my Bible, Christ was faithful to touch my open wounds with the healing touch of his promises, " she writes. "He promised to turn all my wailing into dancing and he has." Forgiven and Set Free guides suffering and hurting women to bring their emotional scars from abortion "out of the dark past and into his holy light," where true and lasting healing can take place. Appropriate Scriptures help women deal with issues such as
- relief and denial
- anger
- forgiveness
- depression
- letting go
- acceptance

5.0 out of 5 stars I know the Lord has forgiven me and now I'm Set Free! June 8, 2000

By Barbara Bedsole

Format:Paperback

I am a post-abortive woman from the 70's and of few words so this is going to be short but sweet. This in-depth Bible study is an absolutely wonderful tool for the post-abortive woman. It thoroughly, yet gently, guides you through all the emotions from the day you thought you might be pregnant, the day of your abortion until the present. For any woman who is experiencing post-abortion stress syndrome, I would highly recommend this Bible Study. Just a note for thought: 43% of the women in the United States are post-abortive. That's a lot of women needing help and this is the Bible Study that will help you put all that behind, or at least get you started in the right direction. Thanx for opportunity to express myself and God Bless,

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book for those suffering after their choice March 23, 2001

By Diana L. Penning

Format:Paperback

I have been counseling women after their abortions for almost ten years. I have used just about as many different Bible studies, and this one is by far the best. It uses scripture you often find that you know, but in the context of dealing with the anger, forgiveness, depression and other similar issues relative to a woman's emotional struggles after an abortion. I've used this with women who were 2 years to 33 years post-abortion and I can tell you that it is an extremely effective study! The men's version is just as relevant and powerful.
