Unplanned: Helping us understand or remember what it is like on the other side of the fence

Well I admit I bought the book Unplanned because I wanted to support the cause against Planned Parenthood and I had heard Abby Johnson speak so I did not expect the book to tell me anything new. Jill Stanek talked about it being a real page turner and I thought this was hype to boost sales but she was right. I was so interested in her perspective on things and really learned a lot. I highly recommend this especially to those who are called to do sidewalk counseling.  It was encouraging and informational and serves to remind us that many that are on the other side firmly believe in what they are doing and how hard it is to give up friendships and alliances once you are faced with the evidence on the issue of life. I especially found it interesting that those who quietly prayed in front of PP clinics had such and influence on the environment inside. I join Jill in calling this a page turner and a reminder that prayer does change things. Some of us are so action oriented that we may forget that prayer is an action.
