The Beauty of Grace

In this heartfelt episode of Beholder Beauty, I interview Robin Gerblick, the author of Giving Up Grace: A Spiritual Rebranding of the Soul. Robin shares her deeply personal journey through abortion, healing, and eventual adoption. We discuss the challenges and consequences of abortion, finding forgiveness, and rediscovering faith. The conversation touches on the complexities of inner and outer beauty and the transformative power of God's grace. Robin also highlights her work with women's retreats and provides valuable resources for those seeking post-abortion healing. This episode offers hope, healing, and inspiration for anyone navigating similar struggles.Redemption Press has kindly given me a copy of Giving Up Grace to give away.
