* It is estimated that 13% of abortions are performed on self-described 'born again' or evangelical Christians.
* The Alan Guttmacher Institute (AGI) reports that 46% of aborting women identify themselves as Protestant and an additional 27% identify themselves as Catholic. If true, these statistics reveal that more than 70% of all abortions in the United States are performed on Christian women.

My Review:
I found this book to be a compelling read. I kept finding "a sin, is a sin"...God doesn't place one sin above the other...we do. A very comforting book for someone in the remorseful pain of having had an abortion. Finding forgiveness, and forgiving oneself, an especially hard thing to do. Cradle My Heart offers so much, there are so many wonderful uses of scripture to fit, and ways to minister to those in pain. I am going to offer my book to my Pastor so that he can share it with someone in need. This is a beautifully written and timely book, written to help those who are having a hard time with this sin. Satan has gotten a big foothold in our country, and Woman in crisis are easily led. Thank you Kim Ketola for writing and making this book available! I received this book Litfuse Publicity Tours, and the Publisher Kregel, and was not required to give a positive review
