	The 3 Bs of When Life Begins - “When does human life begin?” Physicians, scientists, politicians, philosophers, and theologians offer a variety of complex and differing answers. Does anyone really know when life begins? Is it really all that complicated? Let’s get back to some basics. If the “3Rs” are the basics of education, the “3Bs” are the basics of when life begins—Biology, Bible, and Baptism. Item 1004T. $0.25 ea.
	Forgiven in Christ – The particular experiences discussed in this booklet (physical, sexual, and alcohol abuse) are not pleasant subjects. But the author says, “it seems important to tell them only in light of God’s mercy and grace in Christ and with the hope that it will benefit those with similar experiences and inward turmoil.” She goes on to say that, “I am forgiven in Christ Jesus, God’s Son. My tormentors are forgiven in Him, and I pray that they know this by faith. You too are forgiven in Jesus—no matter your particular sins or regrets—you are forgiven. Look to the cross of Christ. Therein is God’s peace toward you. There is mine.” Item 908B. $0.25 ea.
	Defending the Right to Choose / Know the Facts - Defending the phrase “a woman’s right to choose” requires knowledge. It requires knowledge of what is being chosen. Everyone knows that this phrase is not referring to a woman’s right to choose a new dress or new shoes. It refers to choosing an abortion—the killing of an unborn child for any reason or no reason at all. Defending the “right to choose” requires knowledge of abortion. The purpose of this booklet is to help people understand what defending the “right to choose” involves. Item 124T. $0.75 ea. Full color! (Note: contains graphic images.)

Brochures
	In A Life Not Like Any Other, Roberta Bandy shares how many new parents talk about counting the fingers and toes—carefully checking all the outward signs of normalcy. With all accounted for, the parent breathes a sigh of relief—and hopefully gives thanks. But there are other parents whose only sigh is that which comes after many tears. What they see on the outside is not normal and for them there is no immediate relief—and sadly many never learn to give thanks. This is the story of such a child—unlike any other child born that particular day—yet a child whose life had hope, meaning, and purpose. (This story was featured in the Fall 2006 edition of LifeDate.) Item 1622. $0.25 ea.
	Abortion and the Message of the Church: Sin or Salvation? – Dr. James Lamb shows that throughout history the Church has called abortion sin. Only recently have some started calling abortion salvation—a way out of a difficult situation. But it is not a way out. It only creates guilt and despair to which the Church must apply its most powerful message, the Gospel of Jesus. Full color! Item 205T. $0.25 ea. This brochure is also available in Braille free of charge. To order call (888) 364-LIFE or e-mail orders@lutheransforlife.org.
