Redemptive Love

On April 12, 1972, twenty-three-year-old Susan Brotherson found herself in a situation she never thought she would be in. A single mom facing an unexpected pregnancy without the support or funds needed to raise another child, she felt that abortion was her only option. Motivated by fear and shame, she underwent the procedure. She didn't realize, however, how lasting and devastating the effects would be.


Redemptive Love by Susan Brotherson is an inspiring book which follows the author's journey of healing and transformation after abortion. Detailing the emotional pain she experienced in the years after, Susan describes how the enemy tried to derail her faith with lies and accusation but that through finding a supportive church and receiving baptism of the Holy Spirit and the gift of tongues, she gained the spiritual strength to overcome and began to seek opportunities to help other women who were dealing with the aftereffects of abortion and prevent others from making the same decision she did.


Throughout the book, the overarching theme of how God put Susan's broken pieces back together rings true, with the Lord revealing to her that she had been carrying twins and giving her the opportunity to encounter them in the heavenly realm and name them. Susan's testimony is a powerful one that reminds readers that God is good and faithful to bring healing to every area of our lives and restore our joy when we surrender to Him, and through her words, readers will be encouraged that it's not too late, they aren't beyond saving, and their story isn't over.
