Almost Wasn’t – A Memoir of My Abortion and How God used me

About the Book

Have you had an abortion and want to be freed from the guilt and shame? Or have you considered having an abortion and want to know, “what’s the big deal?” In Almost Wasn’t – A memoir of my abortion and how God used me, author Sonya C. Howard tells the story of her struggles and consequences after aborting her first baby. Although she regretted her decision, after a lot of prayer and repentance God used her experience to ultimately bring her closer to Himself. In today’s pro-choice society, women are bombarded with the inconveniences of having their babies. What’s missing is the devastating truth about the affects abortion causes to the woman – emotionally, physically, and mentally. Howard’s true story is just one which she hopes will give men and women the inside view and hopefully cause them to think deeper, research more, ask of God, and ultimately consider an alternative to abortion.
