New Men’s Post Abortion Ministry
‘The House of Esau Ministry Manual’ is a process designed to allow a father to process his experience with the abortion of his child in a safe therapeutic environment. It helps the father to process issues of guilt, anger, shame and grief which are often covered under the denial that so often accompanies this experience. Written by a father who lost his child to abortion each of the issues addressed reveals how this man experienced and processed his discomfort. The author is available for speaking engagements as well as training workshops related to the use of the manual.
