"This is a passionate but clear-minded examination of vital issues. Steeped in Scripture,
it provides a basic Christian understanding of civil disobedience and examines the rescue
movement in depth. No one who cares about ending abortion should miss reading this book."
Radio WRGN, Hunlock Creek, Pennsylvania
"Is rescuing right? In this well-researched book, Randy Alcorn argues that the answer is yes:
Non-violent civil disobedience is biblical and Christians may participate in rescues.
Alcorn builds a strong case through several means: analyzing instances of civil disobedience
in the Bible and throughout church history; asking Christians to whose authority are they
ultimately responsible, God's or man's; and presenting case studies. He also answers criticisms
against rescuing. This book will help readers wrestle with an important issue."
Moody Magazine
"In Is Rescuing Right?, Alcorn treats this volatile subject with sensitivity.
The book is based on his own experience of studying the issue, sifting through his beliefs,
and finally aligning his convictions with the rescue movement. This book is an admirable
example of understanding and tolerance toward an opposing viewpoint."
The Bookstore Journal
"Of all the books on the topic, Is Rescuing Right? is the best. You don't have to agree
with the rescue movement to benefit from the arguments in this book. The author
covers a lot of biblical and historical ground. If you are not sure of the biblical
arguments for and against Christian resistance, then Is Rescuing Right? is the best place to start."
American Vision Magazine
"An excellent resource for those on both sides of the issue, and for the undecided."
The Christian Herald
Note: Is Rescuing Right? is a biblical study not simply of abortion related issues
but of civil disobedience. While the primary application is to the abortion issue, the
biblical and historical principles apply to any question of civil diosbedience.
