Product Description
A major shift is taking place in America today. Life is no longer sacred. Killing is no longer taboo. Nazi Germany made a similar moral shift over 80 years ago, and we know what happened there. Is America in danger of a Holocaust? Could your life be on the line?
Elizabeth Skoglund, author of over 35 books and a counselor in private practice in California, asks everyone to take another look at the value of human life, in light of God's Word and human history. It's time, she says, to sit up and look at what is happening in American health care ... before it's too late.
“I began reading Life on the Line because I felt I should, and continued because I couldn’t put it down. It is well researched, logical in its presentation, wonderfully illustrated, and unanswerable in its reasoning – a clear statement on moral and ethical issues in today’s world.”
RUTH BELL GRAHAM
MONTREAT, NORTH CAROLINA
“‘Greater love had no one but this . . .’ (John 15:13, NAB). Life on the Line speaks the truth in love.”
DR. ALVEDA C. KING
PASTORAL ASSOCIATE WITH PRIESTS FOR LIFE AND FOUNDER OF KING FOR AMERICA
“The measure of a society rests in its attitude towards its weakest elements. . . . Surely there are few blessings as precious as health. But what happens to society when that blessing becomes an object of worship in itself? Life on the Line forces the reader to grapple with this and similar issues. Life on the Line may be easy to read, but it is not easy reading.”
AARON BREITBART
SIMON WIESENTHAL CENTER
“Skoglund has done a valuable service in writing a book that forces the reader to confront issues most of us would far rather leave alone. Moreover she has, for the Christian reader, made it even more helpful by focusing these issues in the light of numerous scriptural passages.”
MATTHEW CONOLLY, M.D.
PROFESSOR OF MEDICINE, UCLA
“Life on the Line is much more than a jeremiad. To be sure, it warns us of “brave new worlds,” but it does not stop there. It reminds us – and we do need reminding – that suffering is not meaningless, and the endurance of it is not pointless. It assures us that life really is worth living.”
THE HONORABLE HENRY J. HYDE
CONGRESSMAN FROM ILLINOIS
“In an era of exploding technological advances, shifting standards, and a babel of confusing and often contradictory voices, Elizabeth Skoglund gives us a spiritual lamp for our path into the new century. . . . We need such a book in an age of agonizing choices about life and death. Most comforting, she points us to an unchanging and loving God.”
RUSSELL CHANDLER
FORMER RELIGION WRITER, LOS ANGELES TIMES
“Life on the Line is one of the most fascinating, challenging, and convicting books I have ever read.”
RICHARD C. HALVERSON
