“Every pro-life person I’ve shared this pamphlet with who has read it has been convinced by it.” -Valley Scharping

“I shared one of these with my local pro-life pregnancy center director, and she said ‘apart from scripture, I’ve never been so impacted by something that was written.’ Her mind has been completely changed and she is taking action to change the minds of leaders in the state of Colorado.” -Jacki Morris

10) The Doctrine of Balaam

Pastor C.R. Cali wrote this outstanding book to explain the ways in which the American church, tragically, has outsourced its thinking on abortion to secularly-minded pro-life leaders who have led us terribly astray. In a pastoral manner, Cali exposes the unbiblical thinking that drives the Pro-Life Establishment and calls us back to scriptures as the foundation of all our thinking and political strategy.
