The Woman at the Tomb: Abortion and Redemption - Paperback

by Jessica Lockhart (Author)

A story of motherhood, mental illness and redemption. Following painful decision to abort a pregnancy, Jessica found herself spiralling towards a suicidal breakdown. She survived, and, with the support of family, friends and faith, found her way back to life.

Centred around the story of Mary Magdalene's encounter with the risen Christ, The Woman at the Tomb is a testament to the healing power of prayer and the great mercy alive in the Scriptures.

I wrote my story in order to gain insight into the event. As the story developed, I began to wonder if the experiences I had and the spiritual gifts given to me had a wider significance than just my own healing. There is so much shame and despair around this issue. But there is also the possibility of grace. And there is a way back to life for those of us who find ourselves weeping into the tomb.
