HeartHEALING A FATHER’S

c

“Healing a Father’s Heart” is a Bible Study for men.

“Men who suffer trauma after their child’s abortion are not often understood. With the
words, “It’s not your body,” “It’s not your decision,” and “You have no say” screaming

in their ears, men even question their right to have feelings following an abortion.”
This study is designed to bring men out of the past into God’s healing light.

Do you or someone you know suffer from any of
these symptoms from a past abortion experience?

Uncontrolled anger • Higher rate of domestic violence • Depression • Inability to bond with God
Feelings of enadequancy • Addictions • Fear of rejection • Mistrust of women
