"I'm profoundly grateful for and impressed with this course. Learning the logic and the tactics of the Pro-Life position was priceless! It was great seeing the debate with the pro-choice lawyer. Very instructive hearing the experiences of your (courageous) staff and very reassuring to know you are willing to work with Catholic Christians on this issue. I honestly cannot think of any suggestions for improvement. Thank You!"

-- Jim K. (Premium Course student)

"What a fantastic course, although I am not a Christian (I am Muslim) but this course really gives me an amazing and deep knowledge about this hot topic, abortion, in a simple way that someone who does not have any deep philosophical background, its dive to the real root of the debate and removes the shallow superficial layer of the argument and delve to the crux of the problem. It's an extremely useful course."

"Wow! Scott, I am so indebted to you for the blood, sweat and tears you have given to this ministry - and shared your profit with us. I have much to do to solidify the grounding you have given us, but I thank you (and our Father) for a way forward. I have been feeling like I will have to spend the whole next year reviewing and refining to be able to present a solid case for life (pardon, please), but what a privilege to speak truth and life - even if my beginnings stutter... Thank you for challenging and equipping us to MOVE! I know the God of all life will grace you with His affirmation. You are a good and faithful servant."

"I was so excited to see this course when it was advertised through Online Christian courses. This FAR exceeded my expectations!! It was so easy to access and so well organized. I could listen to the videos on my runs and then go back and read through the notes in my study time. The reading content was outstanding! The live Zooms were powerful as the community aspect made it feel like a real class. I wouldn't change a thing!! AMAZING AMAZING class!!"
