As America marks the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision this year, abortion has become the leading cause of death in our nation and worldwide, ending the lives of more than 42 million children each year and harming millions of women and men. In the midst of this global crisis, there is new hope. Beginning with one hour of prayer in Texas in 2004, the groundbreaking 40 Days for Life movement of prayer and fasting, peaceful vigils, and community outreach has mobilized more than half a million volunteers in 481 cities around the world. Nearly 7,000 babies have been spared from abortion. 75 abortion workers have had a change of heart and quit their jobs. 25 abortion centers have closed. And every baby, every changed heart, every closure is an amazing story. This book contains forty of those stories: Hearts changed on the most controversial issue in our culture Babies and mothers spared from abortion at the last possible second Shocking secrets from inside the abortion industry revealed Abortion workers experiencing a change of heart and quitting their jobs Thriving abortion facilities shutting down for good There have been 11 coordinated 40 Days for Life campaigns since 2007.

40 Days for Life: Discover What God Has Done...Imagine What He Can Do

David Bereit

Shawn Carney

with Cindy Lambert

This is a true story. Three lives. One common thread. 
 A formerly incarcerated, homeless, crack-addicted prostitute. A mentally instable evangelical housewife living with the effects of sexual abuse and a violent murder. And one of the least-known yet most influential people of the 20th century, a man responsible for 75,000 deaths.
 Unexpectedly, their lives are woven together over a span of 40 years. Each is determined to expose and discredit a sinister misconception - the delusion that some lives are considered throwaways while others are considered indispensable. As they peel back the layers of darkness, they discover something far more powerful: light always reveals the truth.
 Their individual journeys of devastation, loss, and ultimately, redemption, will challenge and inspire you to see the value of life from a whole new perspective.

40 Days for Life began modestly--just a small group of Christians gathered around a table for an hour of prayer. It has grown into the largest international pro-life mobilization in history, a movement of prayer and fasting, peaceful vigils, and community outreach that has spread lifesaving hope around the world. Every baby saved, every life transformed, every abortion facility closed is an amazing story. This book contains forty of those stories-stories of lives God has already transformed in 40 days! The Expanded Edition includes a new prologue revealing moving, behind-the-scenes inspiration for the movement that is changing hearts and saving lives one prayer at a time, and a new final chapter and epilogue.

Opportunities get missed, goals don't get achieved, even day-to-day living becomes a challenge. It can be hard to hold on to hope. But we have a choice: we can either lose ground with temporary "fixes" or we can take brave steps toward true healing and come out on top. Ignite: Empowering Women to Heal, Achieve and Succeed is a powerful too to assist in small group studies for doing just that.

Many time, the very things that have caused us so much hurt can be the avenue God uses to propel us to a healthy and vibrant future.

YOUR DAILY LIFE HAS THE POWER TO END ABORTION! 
Yes, we live in a culture of death with almost daily attacks on life and the family. But we are also busy. We have work, families, house repairs, and sick in-laws. We want to join this important work for life but how do we begin? Where do we start? 
It is easy to feel overwhelmed or have difficulty discerning where to focus our efforts to fight off the onslaught of attacks in our culture. Bestselling author, Shawn Carney, takes us through a 40-day journey, each day containing hard-won wisdom from his years fighting for life, as well as a prayer and daily intention. 
This book gets to the heart of the matter of our culture war by highlighting the small and large ways we can help build a culture of life in the life we live every day. From combating the current moral attacks on the family to changing diapers, this 40-day journey inspires the reader to really live that culture of life daily and change the world by doing so. 
To the Heart of the Matter is the pro-life devotional for busy people. It can be used during a 40 Days for Life campaign, Lent, or any time of year. 
By weaving together the powerful Word of God and the small events of daily life, Shawn Carney explains in To the Heart of the Matter that we can walk the way of Christian perfection in the pursuit of holy virtues by defending the fundamental building block of life: the little baby in its mother's womb. This is a must-read for all those who want to give witness to the Truth, Jesus Christ, with joy and hope in their hearts so that one day (only God knows when) our society is restored to sanity and once more recognizes the dignity of the little ones, who are made in the image and likeness of the Almighty." Fr. Philomeno James, Franciscan friar and 40 Days for Life campaign leader in England 
To the Heart of the Matter is an important devotional that leads us to recognize the power of prayer, the importance of life and the call we all have to defend the most innocent among us. Carney's work encourages us to foster a culture of life something that's desperately needed in this day and age. Billy Hallowell, Director of Communications & Content for PureFlix.com
