Telling Abby’s story from both sides of the abortion clinic property line, this book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the life versus rights debate and helping women who face crisis pregnancies. Now updated with a new chapter covering the latest events in Abby’s journey, in the news, and in changing legislation . . . and revealing the impact Abby’s story has had in the most surprising places.

Against the backdrop of her first decade involved in the pro-life movement, Abby helps you discover God''s unrestrained mercy at work in your own life and take steps toward becoming a channel of that life-changing mercy in the world around you. She shows you how to model God''s mercy, freely offer mercy to those who seem undeserving, respond with mercy when others err or offend, and bear witness to God''s unrestrained compassion so that others may know him.This is Abby''s challenge to you: dare to do what is hard, what is right, and what is good. And do all of it in love.
