Do I Need to Forgive Myself?
by Pastor Brian Janssen
Forgiven and Set Free, an inspired Bible study that can be used by individual women or by a group, effectively ministers God’s healing grace to women who are suffering remorse and guilt after an abortion.
This study was developed out of Linda Cochrane’s experience of being freed from the bondage of guilt and grief that followed her abortion. “As I read my Bible, Christ was faithful to touch my open wounds with the healing touch of his promises, ” she writes. “He promised to turn all my wailing into dancing and he has.” Forgiven and Set Free guides suffering and hurting women to bring their emotional scars from abortion “out of the dark past and into his holy light,” where true and lasting healing can take place. Appropriate Scriptures help women deal with issues such as: – relief and denial, anger, forgiveness, depression, letting go, acceptance.

Healing a Father's Heart, Too often, the focus on the tragedy of abortion ignores another victim: the father. In this insightful Bible study the focal point shifts to the post-abortion father, who may feel the same guilt, shame and grief as the mother. Designed for use in a personal or group setting, Healing a Father's Heart provides comfort and encouragement along the way to freedom from the emotions that impact their relationships with others - and with God. Includes list of post-abortion ministries.
