Summary

Because Christene Jackman felt estranged from her alcoholic father, she moved out at age 17 and married the first boy who paid attention to her. Not surprisingly, that relationship dissolved in divorce, and when her new relationship resulted in her being pregnant again, Christene got an abortion despite her unsettling conscience. On today's edition of Family Talk, she shares the remarkable story of her conversion to Christ and God's restoration. Cort Langeland, who produced Christine's album entitled "The Choice," urges all Christians to move beyond understandable outrage over abortion toward gracious outreach and empathy to those who made that regrettable decision.
