The Atonement Child
A beautiful repackaged edition of Francine Rivers's classic novel that breaks through the many taboos surrounding abortion. In one terrifying moment, Dynah Carey's perfect life is shattered by rape, her future irrevocably altered by an unwanted pregnancy, and her doting family torn apart. Her seemingly rock-solid faith is pushed to the limits as she faces the most momentous choice of her life--to embrace or to end the untimely life within her. This new edition includes discussion questions for individual or group use.

Didn't like it
Don't get me wrong: being a woman myself, I really felt for Dynah (our heroine) in her truly horrifying situation. And while I'm not very religious, I felt thankful that she at least had religion as her catalyst, using her faith as a way to channel her anguish and eventually find peace. All...

Hats Off to Francine Rivers!!
Thank you, Francine Rivers for having the courage to write such an eloquent story of one of the most controversial issues of our day. Personally, I think this book was divinely inspired and it made me take a deeper look at my own stance against abortion. I highly recommend this book as a must...

Atonement ChildBy Francine RiversReview by Roseanna White When I was about ten or eleven, I attended a youth lock-in at my church, during which we had an activity that forced us to choose sides on hot topics. There were corners of the room for strong agreement, mild agreement, mild disagreement,...

A good idea, perhaps, but...
My apologies for such a long review, but I want to make it clear why I have given it a low rating despite my personal convictions on the subject matter:The Atonement Child came strongly recommended to me by a friend who knows my pro-life views and assumed I would like the book because of them....

It did not Atone as a wonderful read
This book was such a disappointment. I loved reading "Redeeming Love" by Mrs. Rivers; it was a very well written and a moving story. I thought I would love "Atonement Child" just as much, but it left me shaking my head. Dynah the heroine of the story was praying every second and it really...

A profound book, dealing with faith and a delicate issue.
Francine Rivers knows how to weave a poignant story dealing with profound issues, that are resolved by resounding faith. This story deals with a young woman's journey after rape; and in fact, how everyone else around her deals with it as well.

Mixed feelings
All in all, I thought this was a good book. It kept me very engaged and I read it very quickly. I agree with what some others said, in that I was shocked that after hearing about Dynah's Christ centered and wholesome upbringing, her parents marriage and very character so very quickly...

Just Okay
As a fan of Francine Rivers' Biblical fiction, I hate to write anything less than complimentary but I have to say honestly this is not her best work. It seems like every other character in the book has had an abortion. I can think of other ways to drive home the point that abortion is a...

very real!
I loved this book! Working at a crisis pregnancy center as well as knowing girls who have gone through this situation themselves, I thought the book was acurate. As a Christian I thought the struggles between, her and God were very accurate too. Being a Christian doesn't mean happy all the time,...

Atonement Child
Atonement Child from Francine Rivers is a pivotal book dealing with the issue of abortion. At times, it has been criticized for not being realistic enough, but to those who've said that, they've missed the point. Though it was written in 1997 and some of the references might seem a bit dated, the...
