Beautiful and Very true reflections on why abortion is sooooooooooo wrong. The Lord has truely chosen and inspired this wonderful man to write this wonderfully written book and to lead the 21st century's civil rights movement.

Thank you Father. Your book has truly inspired me. May the Lord Bless you for the work you've done and will continue doing!!!!

His everyday pro-life reflections are also beautiful and very inspiring and a great way to pray everyday for the end of this horrible act. I quote him just about everyday on facebook. That's how much I love that little book. I will be reading it and rereading it for the rest of my life God Willing.

This book, by Father Frank Pavone, is a collection of 2-page essays concerning abortion. This format allows one to read a few essays at a time, put the book down, and come back a few days later without needing to refresh the mind about what is happening. Each essay is freestanding and tackles an important issue related to ending abortion..."not just fighting it."

I recommend this to all pro-life people. It may also help those still on the fence about the morality of abortion.

Really makes you think. It helps those who are not sure what to do to begin to speak up for the unborn.
