I just read "Survivor" from cover to cover. Once I began reading it, I didn't want to put it down. Sheila's story is a powerful one; it reveals the deep emotional turmoil she experienced after an abortion she chose at the age of 19. The transparency with which she described making the decision to abort, going through the procedure itself, as well as the impact of it on her life afterward is truly inspirational. Although detailed and personal, her story was never inappropriate or graphic. I found it to be compelling and rich in personal insight and hope for anyone who has found themselves in a similar situation.
Never political nor preachy, this story is one for anyone from any background. It's not about the moral or ethical debate of abortion; it is simply one woman's story -- but one that is likely to change you.
If you or someone you know has experienced one or more abortions, read it yourself first then share a copy of "Survivor" with them. In the pages of this book they will find a friend who has endured the same kind of pain and hardships so common among abortion survivors--and who has triumphed! ...They will also find hope....
---------
A note to NON-survivors (People who have never experienced nor been involved in an abortion): Whether you consider yourself pro-life or pro-choice I encourage you to read this book. I believe Sheila's story will shed new light on your convictions.

Survivor: A Journey Through Abortion and Back Paperback – March 1, 2009
by
Sheila Harper
(Author)
Survivor is the true life story of Sheila Harper and her journey through an unwanted pregnancy, the decision to abort, and the life she lived afterward. This book will bring you face to face with the realities of abortion and its aftermath. You will experience a firsthand (sometimes graphic) account of the abortion clinic, the raw emotions, the struggles of unforgiveness, and much more that encompasses this one decision. Then you will see God's miraculous rescue of Harper, who thought she had nothing to live for and nowhere to turn. Yet God has taken her most regrettable mistake and used it to birth a worldwide ministry that is now helping men and women to be free from the choice of abortion.

This story was so intense. I can't even describe the heartache I felt as I read of the hopelessness in Sheila's life.
And then came hope! What a powerful story of hope, grace, and redemption. I especially love how God brought Jeremiah 1:9-10 to life to begin a movement to SaveOne!
I highly recommend this book!

Thank you sheila for being so absolutely brave and share with us! At last the voice of actual real women is heard on what is their life in real. The truth needs to be heard loud and clear so all girls know it. Thank you!
