Do you see the world's pain and injustice and wish you could do something about it? Do you want to make a difference but don't know where to begin?
As a fifteen-year-old girl, Lila Rose started Live Action in her family's living room out of a deep passion to defend the rights of the most vulnerable among us and to expose the abortion industry. In the sixteen years since, she has built the largest and most engaged online following in the pro-life movement, addressed members of the European Parliament and the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, and been named as one of the National Journal's "25 most Influential Washington Women Under 35.” Now she is opening up her heart and drawing on her experiences to speak to all those who want to be a force for change but need guidance on how to start. Lila guides readers from the beginning thoughts of, How can I help? to, Yes, I can be a force for good, and I can start today, providing a much-needed handbook on how to truly make a difference in today's world.
PRAISE FOR THE BOOK
Lila is the definition of a fighter. Despite tremendous opposition, she founded one of the nation’s leading pro-life and human rights organizations when she was just fifteen years old. Lila has refused to stay silent on issues that are plaguing our nation and the impact she has made in the abortion industry is astounding. Lila’s story is a challenge for us all to take a stand, speak truth, and persist in the fight for life.
LISA BEVERE, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR
This is the true book of ‘rules for radicals.’ Lila Rose shows us that the most authentic revolutionaries are those who are most completely converted. Her book is challenging, but I need the challenge. Maybe we all do.
SCOTT HAHN, AUTHOR AND THEOLOGIAN

An inspiring account, and a must-read not just for those in the pro-life movement, but all those who believe they have been created to make a difference!
CURTIS A. MARTIN, FOUNDER OF FOCUS
This book is so powerful! Fighting for Life invites us to live out our calling, to take risks, have courage, persevere, and be led by conviction. It contains great practical steps for readers no matter what their cause may be. Lila has taken on the greatest battle of our generation and mobilized multitudes to fight for the protection of the most marginalized, those human beings still in their mothers’ wombs. I am thankful for Lila’s strength and valor.

LEE STROBEL, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR
The pluck, determination, and passion for defending life that have made Lila Rose a force to be reckoned with are evident on every page of this spirited, engaging guidebook. Bravely sharing her struggles as well as her successes, her weakness as well as her strength, Lila offers us a powerful reminder that who we are matters even more than what we do and the greatest force for social change is a heart transformed by grace.
COLLEEN CARROLL CAMPBELL, AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE HEART OF PERFECTION, MY SISTERS THE SAINTS, AND THE NEW FAITHFUL

JEN FULWILER, STANDUP COMIC AND BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SOMETHING OTHER THAN GOD
In a culture that casually disregards the most vulnerable, author and activist Lila Rose unpacks her transformation from conviction to catalyzing force in the pro-life movement. An honest and compelling recount of her courageous journey for justice, Fighting for Life will inspire us all to hear and heed God’s great callings for us and boldly pursue them relentlessly, no matter the obstacle.
BENJAMIN WATSON, FORMER NFL TIGHT END AND AUTHOR
This is a book that should be put into the hands of every young person who is looking for a cause worthy of a total, lifelong, passionate commitment. Its story line is compelling, and its lessons—its practical and ‘personalist’ principles—are tested, tried, and true, but forgotten and flaunted by a society suffering from both amnesia and anemia, i.e. lacking both identity and blood (life and passion).
PETER KREEFT, AUTHOR AND PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY AT BOSTON COLLEGE AND THE KING’S COLLEGE
Lila Rose’s engaging and vividly written memoir offers far more than a leading pro-lifer’s personal story: It’s full of practical lessons for all men and women of conscience who seek to change our troubled world for the better.
SOHRAB AHMARI, AUTHOR OF FROM FIRE, BY WATER: MY JOURNEY TO THE CATHOLIC FAITH AND THE UNBROKEN THREAD: DISCOVERING THE WISDOM OF TRADITION IN AN AGE OF CHAOS
This riveting, dramatic, personal story by one of our century's most inspiring pro-life warriors will not only change your heart. It will also give you the hard-hitting, practical spiritual weapons you need to enter into the greatest civil-rights movement of our time and do your part to help change the world!
Sue Ellen Browder, author of Subverted: How I Helped the Sexual Revolution Hijack the Women's Movement
In the struggle against the greatest evil of our times—the institutionalisation of murder on a global scale—Fighting for Life may well prove to be one of the most important books you will ever read. Standing as a sign of contradiction to this catastrophic blindness, Lila Rose’s story, and mission, bears comparison to that of Joan of Arc and of David facing Goliath. It is not only a dramatic narrative; it is radiant with wisdom—the wisdom that heals.
MICHAEL D. O’BRIEN, AUTHOR OF FR. ELIJAH AND ISLAND OF THE WORLD
When future generations look back at our time and wonder how we could have allowed so many unborn children to die and so many women to be exploited by abortion, they will look to heroes like Lila Rose and know that we were without excuse. Fighting for Life will inspire and motivate you to be one of those heroes—and to bring that future closer today.
KAREN SWALLOW PRIOR, AUTHOR OF ON READING WELL: FINDING THE GOOD LIFE THROUGH GREAT BOOKS AND FIERCE CONVICTIONS: THE EXTRAORDINARY LIFE OF HANNAH MORE
Lila has written a beautiful, must-read book for all of us who feel a calling to right the wrong of this grave injustice called abortion. You will feel compelled to do more, to fight harder, and to dig deep within yourself to sacrifice more of yourself for our most vulnerable in the womb. Read this book—and learn from one of the very best in our movement.
ABBY JOHNSON, AMERICAN ANTI-ABORTION ACTIVIST
