Summary

Values in our culture have shifted. Without moral absolutes, how do we determine what is right and what is wrong?How do we decide?*Is there a right and wrong way to vote?*Isn't voting a part of politics - and isn't the Church supposed to avoid that subject?*Should we vote Pro-choice or Pro-Life?Voting is not mentioned in the Bible, but God's priorities are clearly evident.Social security, taxes, the economy, education, and welfare are all secondary to saving human life. This book looks at the issue of abortion with compassion, concern, and the hope that Christians understand that their voice, and God's priorities, must be heard.Our vote should extend beyond mere political agendas and fulfill a moral obligation of compassion. Spirituality does not end with a person's relationship with God. Loving one's neighbor demands that we take into consideration laws and values that can rescue our neighbor from physical death as well as spiritual death.Objections to the author's conclusions are answered. Thorough research is explained in a popular and readable style.Dr. Ken
