• Into The Light
  by Nicole W. Cooley
  ISBN Number: 978-1-4141-1064-6
  Published by: Pleasant Word (a division of Wine Press Publishing, PO Box 428, Enumclaw, WA 98022)
  Georgette Forney wrote the forward for the book, Into The Light. This is what she had to say about it: Into The Light is an incredibly courageous book. Nicole’s willingness to honestly discuss rape, abortion, pornography addiction and many other painful experiences is a testimony of God’s strength working in broken people. Every person who reads this book can connect with some part of her story and learn as Nicole did more about God’s healing grace. I strongly recommend this book for everyone; it teaches us to have more compassion for one another and encourages us to face our traumas.

If you or someone you care about has experienced the pain of unresolved grief after abortion, you know how hard it can be to find help.  Magazines and talk shows offer advice on nearly every topic, yet it’s rare to see a headline for post-abortion recovery.  The Four Steps to Healing sheds new light on an issue that has touched the lives of many but is talked about by few.  The myth of abortion as a “selfish” choice is dispelled here by illustrations of women who chose abortion out of concern for everyone’s need but their own.  Many who suffer from post-abortion grief are, in fact, caring nurturers, helpers by nature who take spiritual matters seriously.  To address the specific needs of those who ling to reconnect and go further in their faith, The Four Steps to Healing is available in both Catholic and non-denominational versions.  Filled with practical suggestions, prayers and stories of hope, it is a resource for those who want to be healed and for those who want help.
