DVD: Unplanned + Giveaway

I had the privilege of receiving the DVD Unplanned, and my husband and I watched it together.  This is a well-done documentary of the story of Abby Johnson, former director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan, TX. 

About the documentary: 
Abby Johnson thought she was helping women in crisis. She was about to learn the truth . . . and facing the secrets of her own painful past would be the toughest truth of all. In this documentary based on the book Unplanned, learn how Abby Johnson went from Planned Parenthood clinic director to leading voice for life and women in crisis.

Take a couple of minutes to watch this clip.


My thoughts: 
Having been a pro life supporter for as long as I can remember, I was excited to be able to watch this movie and enjoyed watching this one hour movie with my husband.  As I watched I learned so much about the Planned Parenthood organization.  I feel like this documentary had many lessons for the viewer beyond just the support for life. 
1.  Our prayers matter. 
2.  We don't know how what we say or do in Christ's love can impact another person, even if we don't see the results immediately. 
3.  We need more people with courage like Abby to stand up for what is right.

I'd like to also share with you an event coming soon, the Unite for Life webcast.  Click here for the website and more information about how to register for this FREE event.

Also, I am giving away a copy of the DVD Unplanned.  This would be a wonderful video to watch yourself and share with others in your family or church.  Leave a comment on this blog post telling me if you have read the book Unplanned or followed Abby Johnson's story.  I will choose a winner on Friday and announce the winner on Saturday, May 7.  I will send you a gift certificate provided by Tyndale for you to take to your local retailer to get this DVD.  Make sure you include your email address so I can contact you. 
   
Have a day of blessings!

I've listened to Abby Johnson several times over the past year, Moody Broadcasting , Focus on the Family and Family Life Today have all had her on. I wish more people would listen to her testimony. Maybe they'd stop being so disillusioned by the "virtues" of PP.

Angie Smith ("I Will Carry You") will be on Grace Cafe Monday. The doctor suggested an abortion when she was pregnant with Audrey Caroline. Wonderful story.

Thanks for this, Bethany!
