Forgiven and Set Free – Women - Bible Study by Linda Cochrane

Women who choose abortion for what they consider all the right reasons at the time are not exempt from mourning the loss of their child. This book is inspired by the Bible and is a study guide to be used by an individual or in a group setting and effectively minister God’s healing grace to women who are suffering remorse and guilt after an abortion.

This study helps men acknowledge and face their inner turmoil.

I’ll Hold You In Heaven by Jack W. Hayford
With compassionate answers for your troubling questions, God’s Word shines with hope in the dark night of human pain. God showed His tenderness when David lost a child he had with Bathsheba. In his pain and grief, David spoke the work of revelation – the reassuring word of God’s truth – saying, “I will go to (my child) but he will not return to me” (2 Samuel 12:19-23). Let Jack Hayford show you the freeing truth of the Word of God and its promises that one day, lie David, you will hold your child in heaven.
