Get ready for our 40 Days for Life campaign this spring with "Making Abortion Unthinkable: The Art of Pro-Life Persuasion," by Gregory Koukl & Scott Klusendorf, moderated by 40 Days for Life - Fairfax and Pro-Life Unity leader Jonathan Darnel.
This interactive group study is an engaging, easy-to-follow, well-reasoned seminar in the art of pro-life persuasion. It has been used to train hundreds of Crisis Pregnancy Center volunteers......, staff, and board members as well as many church members. The seminar includes discussion, role-playing, tactical tips, self-assessment and more - everything needed to equip your group to defend the pro-life position. The scientific and philosophical cases against abortion are covered thoroughly. You'll also learn how to answer the objections pro-abortionists use.
"We used Making Abortion Unthinkable with our volunteers and they loved it. Although most of them have had intensive training in talking with people about abortion, this resource helped them be more precise in their thoughts and verbalize them more effectively. I have seen a difference in the confidence level among those who went through this series."
-Kathryn Wade - Executive Director, Aiken Pregnancy Care Center
Take advantage of this opportunity to bolster your pro-life reasoning and discussions with others, and gear up for our 40 Days for Life campaign this spring! You'll be glad you did!
