His understanding of the Pro-life discussion second to none and everyone we know would benefit from reading this book.""-- Bill and Pam Farrel, authors of Men Are Like Waffles, Women Are Like Spaghetti ""Contenders takes what you believe about human value and human rights, and grounds it firmly in the science and moral reasoning that explains why you stand for life, and then-and here is the payoff-shows you how to communicate it persuasively."" -- John Ensor, President, PassionLife ""Contenders provides provides readers with the intellectual ammunition needed to rebut the arguments of those who would justify harming the weakest amongst us.
