“The goal of this booklet (and my larger book Counter Culture) is not information about the gospel and social issues; it is application of the gospel to social issues. I want to explore abortion and other issues not with a self-righteous complacency that makes us content to wring our hands in pious concern, but with a self-sacrificing commitment to be whoever God calls us to be, go wherever God tells us to go, give whatever God compels us to give, and serve whomever God leads us to serve.”
