The Hand of God: A Journey from Death to Life by the Abortion Doctor Who Changed His Mind

As director of the world's largest abortion clinic and the nation's most prominent abortionist, Dr. Bernard Nathanson presided over 60,000 abortions. As co-founder of the National Abortion Rights Action League he helped make abortion legal. Then, in a conversion that made headlines and astonished both sides of the abortion debate, he renounced his profession to become a pro-life advocate. But Dr. Nathanson's journey was not over. In this deeply personal memoir, he reveals what led a lifelong atheist and abortion crusader first to the pro-life cause, and finally to Christianity. The Hand of God is more than one of the most dramatic autobiographies of our time. It is also a definitive explanation of the pro-life position not only on abortion, but on related issues such as fetal tissue research and doctor-assisted suicide. "I know the abortion issue as perhaps no one else does", writes Nathanson. Even those as committed to legal abortion as he once was will find his arguments challenging and his story unforgettable.
