Christian life & practice; Christian social thought & activity; Ethical issues: abortion & birth control

It seems that politicians and news pundits bring up the issue of abortion daily. Why? Because it's a significant point of contention in today's society. However, the sanctity of life is more than a contest between two sides and requires more than just a singular focus on abortion. Poverty, racism, disability, guns, and immigration are just a handful of topics that relate to the promotion of life. Of course, abortion deserves our attention in this time of fluidity in laws and in the varying ways the beginning of life is defined. In short, valuing human life requires an expansive and faithful perspective. By reading the personal stories, reviewing the data gathered, and relying on Scripture, Fully for Life is sure to broaden any reader's understanding of how life is to be cherished and protected in today's society.

Reviews for Fully for Life: Expanding the Pro-Life Agenda

""Regardless of where you stand on complex issues, Steve Timmermans's call to be pro-life for all of life is an important and needed invitation for communities of faith to deliberate and live together in more integrated ways--in ways that strain to keep up with the God who brings life to the full. Faith communities can trust that this book will catalyze rich and significant conversations!"" --Aaron J. Kuecker, president, Trinity Christian College ""Education, engagement, and encouragement is more helpful to society than condemnation, criticism and coercion. In Fully for Life, Timmermans uses his personal experiences, and biblical truth to offer a fresh perspective on the abortion debate, advocating for a broader and Christ-centered definition of 'pro-life, ' which includes considering policies impacting poverty, structural racism, treatment of disabled individuals, mass incarceration, and more. The book contains specific action steps and is a must read for anyone who desires a more just society, regardless of religious beliefs."" --Colin P. Watson, executive director emeritus, Christian Reformed Church in North America
