Bible Studies

Forgiven and Set Free
Women who hurt after an abortion usually have such deep scars that they have difficulty talking about their pain. Linda Cochran, who suffered from post-abortion syndrome, gently helps these women open up and unearth deeply buried feelings of stress, guilt, and shame in an atmosphere of love and acceptance.

Healing a Father's Heart
This study helps men who are tired of fighting alone to acknowledge and face their inner turmoil head-on. The authors walk hurting men through the stages of post-abortion syndrome, helping them move out of denial about the past and into acceptance and forgiveness. Most importantly, these men will learn about God's unchanging, loving character, and His desire to forgive them and heal their father-hearts.
