Synopsis

40 Days for Life began modestly--just a small group of Christians gathered around a table for an hour of prayer. It has grown into the largest international pro-life mobilization in history, a movement of prayer and fasting, peaceful vigils, and community outreach that has spread lifesaving hope around the world. Every baby saved, every life transformed, every abortion facility closed is an amazing story. This book contains forty of those stories-stories of lives God has already transformed in 40 days! The Expanded Edition includes a new prologue revealing moving, behind-the-scenes inspiration for the movement that is changing hearts and saving lives one prayer at a time, and a new final chapter and epilogue.

Review:

These are incredibly beautiful stories--brief, crisply told, illuminating, heart-rending. Reading one a day does wonders for one's sense of human beauty and God's power. The power of prayer is breathtaking. Whole abortion clinics close, directors begin to reflect and to walk out, faces in grief and despair about abortions to be inflicted within them turn to faces of gratitude, and joy, and thanksgiving.--often after a writhing inward struggle, in which they first see that someone stands with them, prays with them, and hopes with them. --Michael Novak, Author, Journalist, Diplomat, Winner of the 1994 Templeton Prize

40 Days for Life is one of the most impressive initiatives since Roe v. Wade. It's a powerful combination of prayer and persuasion, aimed above all at serving women in crisis pregnancies and helping rebuild a culture of life. The forty stories told here are stories of America at its best. --George Weigel, Biographer of St. John Paul II, and Distinguished Fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Center
