Make Me Your Choice provides compassionate answers about choosing life-or death. Author Cheryl Chew writes from personal experience. She chose to have two abortions and is now the mother of four children. She shares how your decision affects not only the unborn child, but also your future mental and physical well-being. Choosing death impacts FAMILY-robbing them of a son or daughter, grandchild, niece or nephew, cousin. MARRIAGE-causing emotional stress, guilt, and remorse. FUTURE RELATIONSHIPS-haunting heartache and pain. PURPOSE-changing your perspective about life and love. WORLD-denying life for a future doctor, scientist, pastor, inventor, teacher. DESTINY-stifling the role God wrote for you. More than a dozen true stories offer heartening encouragement for anyone who has ever faced a life or death decision. Confronting the long-term consequences of abortion will enable you to make the right choice-and face the reality of having made the wrong decision. "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus..." (Romans 8:1).
