"Dear God, what have I done?" Those were the first words I whispered when I awakened from my abortion. They'd told me the procedure was "no big deal" and "you'll be okay." They were wrong. Aborting my baby was a big deal, and afterward I was never the same . . . At first, Gayle Everhart tries to rationalize her abortion with, "God will forgive me. I can make it up to Him." But she grew up in a Christian home and gave her heart to Jesus at a young age. The eighteen-year-old knows her decision to have an abortion to escape her dilemma is wrong. It is no "easy fix" like she'd hoped. Her decision turns out to be more emotionally complex and guilt-ridden than she ever imagined. She can't move on. Her past affects her eventual marriage, her children, and how she sees herself. She can't shake off her guilt no matter how hard she tries. After seventeen years of nightmares, depression, and thoughts of suicide, God reaches down and leads Gayle to the Pregnancy Resource Centers, where a post-abortion healing group proves to be life-altering. Gayle eventually comes "full-circle" and, after earning her degree in nursing, returns to PRC to minister to young, frightened, pregnant women. She knows. She's been where they are. Never the Same follows Gayle's life journey from desperation to the joy of experiencing God's amazing grace and Jesus' precious blood. In spite of hardships and obstacles, God is faithful to bring His plan for Gayle's life to fruition. Hers is an incredible story of God's tender mercy and love.

When selecting the right book to give and receive on the biblical meaning, method, and message of baptism, it is difficult to find one that does not offend with controversy, weary readers with its lengthy history, or dishearten them with multi-layered theology. Baptism's Beauty and Benefits will provide refreshing pastoral counsel so that the people of God can learn: • How to escape baptism's controversy and, instead, love and listen to fellow saints with whom we differ • What New Testament baptism is really all about • The practices of sprinkling, pouring, and immersion along with the differences between them • The reason for extending baptism to children and reaping seven rich benefits • How to evaluate whether our individual baptisms satisfy biblical commands or need to be repeated Believers from all walks of life will find this treatment of baptism unifying rather than divisive, Comforting instead of condemning, and enlightening in lieu of confusing. Baptism's Beauty and Benefits does not set out to prove anyone wrong with contrary views. Rather, it presents the difficult issues of baptism in a loving, an eye-opening, and life-changing way. It will help the body of Christ to increase their knowledge of what they believe about baptism, illustrate why it is so God-honoring, and provide a deeply enriching perspective. It will remove obstacles to unity, understanding, and fellowship while opening up a wealth of encouraging blessings and benefits.
