Prepare a Room

A must read for everyone! The author Michelle Shelfer amazed me with her words of clarity, value, and love for humanity. This book will transform your thinking about yourself, and how disappointments can be used for something greater in life. It's ""Time2Heal,"" as I would say to my clients. Thank you Michelle, for explaining the steps to a new purpose in life, by preparing an eternal, beautiful room in our hearts. Trish Steele Founder, Safe Passage/Time2Heal As a woman who has personally experienced abortion, it was a joy to have tea with this author while preparing the rooms. This book not only offers the hope of healing for those suffering the guilt and shame of abortion, but it also addresses relationships and other important issues. Most importantly, it points to the ""greatest love,"" which is the love of Jesus by His sacrifice on the cross for our sins! I recommend this book to counselors helping the post-abortive or to individuals seeking healing from abortion, and also to those wanting a better understanding of the effects of abortion. Mary Ann Ambroselli 25-year Executive Director, Ventura County Pregnancy Center 23-year Counselor/Leader, Healing Hearts Ministries Ready for reality? It doesn't get more real than the journey you are about to take with Michelle Shelfer in Prepare a Room. Having personally experienced the pain in abortion, she courageously shares the path to ""greatest love."" Now a mother and grandmother, she will gently lead you through the reconstruction of your life by preparing the ""new rooms"" you will need for this life-transforming reality. If at some point in this journey you feel that you can't go forward, go to her personal story at the end of this book and find new reasons to continue on. New life is awaiting you as you follow the path that Michelle has so carefully prepared for you! Gaylord Enns Author of Love Revolution: Rediscovering the Lost Command of Jesus At our prenatal clinic, we often see women who face past abortions and miscarriages, or who have even suffered a stillbirth. Sometimes our patients are considering abortion because their current situation isn't a healthy one in which to raise a child. No two women's stories are the same. Having this book will give us a great resource, a book full of hope, a lifeline to offer any woman, and a way to help her see beyond her past decisions with a future hope. I highly recommend Michelle Shelfer's very well written, moving book for anyone working with post-abortive people. And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. (Ezekiel 36:26) Robin Strom Executive Director, Marin Pregnancy Clinic Finally! I have many counseling opportunities to care for couples and individuals who have suffered with the guilt and shame of abortion. Though I share the love, mercy, and forgiveness of God in our Messiah, still there was always a need for a testimony of love, warm acceptance, practical advice, and the Good News for hurting people, from a woman who walked that trail of tears and came through it as an instrument of God's joy, help, and healing. Michelle Shelfer is that woman, and this book is finally the much-needed resource for those in my situation who want desperately to help those who are hurting the most. Thank you, Michelle, for helping to address this great need in our society with compassion, kindness, and clarity, as you wonderfully ""speak the truth in love"" to all who are willing to take the time to open their hearts to Yeshua's amazing love and grace!
