Religious ethics; Christianity; Personal Christian testimony & inspirational works; Ethical issues: abortion & birth control

The twentieth century promised much in terms of progress. Europe was at peace, and America was poised to become a world superpower. Certain religious leaders envisioned new programs to help the poor, while others pondered plans to evangelize the world. Protestants in America were divided over issues such as biblical authority and social programs, but there was a surface unity, and a widespread agreement (shared with Catholic and Orthodox Christians) about the sanctity of human life, an ethic rooted in the Bible and church history. Seventy nations, responding to medical advances in obstetrics, fetology, and a growing concern for women's health, had moved to prohibit abortion. Today, 120 years later, there is a deep division among Christians, and in American society, about abortion (and much else). The causes are no doubt complex, but several things are clear. Worldwide there have been over one billion unborn children destroyed by abortion. There have been sixty-four million unborn children destroyed by abortion in the United States, over half of them to women who identify as Christians. In a century of massive violence due to war, planned famines, mass executions, and terror, abortion reigns supreme. That the Judeo-Christian ethic of the sanctity of life has been shredded owes much to the scandal of Christian discipleship.

Reviews for Lilies That Fester

Included in the history of modern mass violence has been the destruction of one billion unborn children through abortion. That this violence has often included Christians is horrifying. In Lilies That Fester, John Bossert Brown declares 'No more!' How might mass violence be slowed? Through Christian disciples standing up to the world's murderous powers. And how are they formed? Through the church getting serious about training her clergy and laity in discipleship. --Paul T. Stallsworth, president, Taskforce of United Methodists on Abortion and Sexuality As the survivor of a failed abortion, I'm grateful for the sacrifice, witness, and works of so many followers of Jesus, especially John Bossert Brown, who I was honored to meet through my vocation as a pro-life speaker and activist. I couldn't agree more with this book. --Melissa Ohden, founder and CEO, The Abortion Survivors Network
