YOUR DAILY LIFE HAS THE POWER TO END ABORTION! Yes, we live in a culture of death with almost daily attacks on life and the family. But we are also busy. We have work, families, house repairs, and sick in-laws. We want to join this important work for life but how do we begin? Where do we start? It is easy to feel overwhelmed or have difficulty discerning where to focus our efforts to fight off the onslaught of attacks in our culture. Bestselling author, Shawn Carney, takes us through a 40-day journey, each day containing hard-won wisdom from his years fighting for life, as well as a prayer and daily intention. This book gets to the heart of the matter of our culture war by highlighting the small and large ways we can help build a culture of life in the life we live every day. From combating the current moral attacks on the family to changing diapers, this 40-day journey inspires the reader to really live that culture of life daily and change the world by doing so. To the Heart of the Matter is the pro-life devotional for busy people. It can be used during a 40 Days for Life campaign, Lent, or any time of year. By weaving together the powerful Word of God and the small events of daily life, Shawn Carney explains in To the Heart of the Matter that we can walk the way of Christian perfection in the pursuit of holy virtues by defending the fundamental building block of life: the little baby in its mother's womb. This is a must-read for all those who want to give witness to the Truth, Jesus Christ, with joy and hope in their hearts so that one day (only God knows when) our society is restored to sanity and once more recognizes the dignity of the little ones, who are made in the image and likeness of the Almighty." Fr. Philomeno James, Franciscan friar and 40 Days for Life campaign leader in England To the Heart of the Matter is an important devotional that leads us to recognize the power of prayer, the importance of life and the call we all have to defend the most innocent among us. Carney's work encourages us to foster a culture of life something that's desperately needed in this day and age. Billy Hallowell, Director of Communications & Content for PureFlix.com
