Well researched and thorough. I am thankful for the work David is doing in this field. My one complaint is that it’s about 98% only how to fight for life from a governmental and legislative level. I was hoping it would cover more than that. How to actually fight for life on the street level in every day life.

I am so encouraged and impressed by this book. Closson writes clearly and eloquently without redundancy and without confusion. From the opening pages, readers know Closson isn’t writing about some distant issue, but one which he has researched and has a deep passion for others knowing as well. As a reader, I appreciate the research done and compiled to make clear how the Bible is pro-life; and how I can use these tools as well. Not only have I learned more about the topic socially and politically, I have learned more about where the Bible discusses these key ideas. Thank you, Closson, for your timely thought and dedicated research to this topic and case.

A thorough and solidly researched overview of abortion, its history, and how we got to where we are today. Closson provides the historical and biblical foundation of the life issue and offers a helpful, detailed analysis of the challenges and opportunities facing the modern pro-life movement. The observations in the final chapter are specific and timely, which is impressive given the ever-shifting political landscape. I would recommend this to pastors looking for a one-stop primer on abortion and any reader who wants to understand the Dobbs decision and what comes next.
