Review Summary: One of the first and best
Date: 2003-04-27
Details: I read this book when it was new and even though it came out in 1981, it is just as true now as it was then. I think if people knew what abortion really is, they would be horrified and ashamed to have called themselves "pro-choice." After having an abortion, many women have read this book and realize their pre-abortion "counseling" was totally wrong and incomplete and they had not had enough information to make an "informed choice." No one told them what an abortion really was, a planned death of their child. Had they read this book ahead of time, they probably wouldn't have had an abortion. I speak from experience. This should be required reading in every classroom that teaches "sex education."
Review Summary: This was a GREAT BOOK!

Details: This was a great book, I coundn't put it down until I was finsished! It's a pretty easy read, that covers abortion itself. It doens't condem or send a hate message to anyone, it sends the message of love to human life and that life must be respected also that pro-life people like myself are not insensitive people but that we care and love the babies and the woman as well. Also it talks about how many babies are experimented on and the "behind the secenes of what really goes on in an abortion clinc." also it breifly talks about the pain of euthansia and just how horrible that is in itself. it's a must read to both pro-choice and pro-life!
Review Summary: Excellent Book!

Details: This is one of the very few books I have been able to read from cover to end. It displays both mantalities behind abortion, pro-life and pro-choice. It also is a book which opens your eyes to the world's ways today. I believe that every person should read this book. I recommend it highly.
Review Summary: powell strikes the heart with much needed book.
Date: 1999-10-18
Details: This book, small in size packs a powerful punch but it does so with the beautiful aroma of the red rose which graces the paper back cover, a credit to the eminently qualified author John Powell of the Society of Jesus. When the pro-life movement is villified and demonized it is important to return to the essentials of our movement which are clearly outlined in this gripping narrative. Weaving in his own personal anecdotes and reflections, Powell captured my heart and inspired a renewed vigor to fight the greatest evil alive in the world today... the "silent holocaust".
Review Summary: The "Bible" of Pro-Life Information
Date: 1999-01-19
Details: I have read and re-read this book many times. This book covers all aspects of the sanctity as well as the abuse of life in our society. Must reading for people on either side of the life issues.
