Schaeffer, and renowned pediatric surgeon, C. Everett Koop, M.D., analyze the widespread implications and frightening loss of human rights brought on by today's practices of abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia. They see the present as a crucial turning point. Choices are being made that undermine human rights as their most basic level. We are called to define our world view by examining the historical basis for man's dignity. We are charged to affirm the absolute uniqueness and intrinsic value of human life because people are created in the image of God. We are urged to fight with all our influence against the increasing, subtle loss of human rights. A call to action, this book pleads with people to recognize the value and sacredness of all life. It puts forth the argument that as a special creation of God, people are not to be thrown away lightly. There is more to life than a wonderful physical body or a super-brain. Life has aspects that are worthy even if that life is not what most would consider "the norm". With arguments from Francis Schaeffer's works, the case is made for truth as seen in the Bible. I find it very compelling, though I needed no convincing of the value of life. The authors plead for action, both education and compassionate. Action which helps all the victims involved in abortion, euthanasia, and "mercy" killing. I like it because rather than leaving you with a sense of frustration in the way things are, it offers up actions and ways to bring about positive solutions. Together with the film, this is the book that move Christians in the Indianapolis area to open a crisis pregnancy center in the early 1980's. Now there are seven throughout the city, where hurting women meet caring women and hear the Good News of the Gospel. There are now many personal stories of healing, freedom and beloved children that live because their mothers responded to the truth. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
