What exactly is Bridget Jamieson so frantically trying to hide? Is there actually a stowaway buried under her skin? And who’s ever heard of an empathy belly anyway? Or is it all a ruse for some project prompted by an elite summer college programme? And to what end?
When a British teen girl, daughter of a diplomat, from the upper cuffs of wealthy privilege, is unceremoniously relocated to the other side of the world yet again, she risks her longest standing friendship, the first love of her life, and potentially disappoints her parents beyond all recognition, to intentionally tack a rounded sign to the front of her that says “pregnant teen - baby forthcoming - open for unsolicited moments of disdain and remarks of condemnation.” Bridget unexpectedly exchanges academic accolades and prestigious propriety for undeniable scrutiny, unwelcome notoriety, and the opportunity to witness the miracle in all the mess.
Choosing life is the story of one seemingly inconsequential misstep in judgement lending itself to an irreversible choice with life-altering consequences—all to keep up appearances in a world preaching Jesus, but practising hypocrisy, fraught with law—Pharisee style.
This world of pressure and privilege intent on taught strings, social protocols, and personal unspoken silence is strangling one girl’s will to succeed in this nearly hidden journey of fluttery first love.
Devastating prescribed expectations to find tidy solutions to anything problematic in one’s life that infringes upon the projected perfection infecting her community riotously contends with the divinely orchestrated arrival of a counsellor extraordinaire’s unabashed outpouring of Jesus’ grace, and truth and life.
This prominent British teen living in the land of Kiwi’s, unwraps the often, untouchable subjects of pre-marital sex, abuse, abortion, adoption, and teen parenthood prevalent in every level of society. It is a story of ultimately falling passionately and personally in love with the truest realisation of our heavenly Father as He reveals that yes, EVERYTHING is relentlessly redeemable. And His grace is always sufficient!

Meet The Author
Whilst I don't surf, I do passionately pray on the beach every chance I get for the boldness to love people like Christ loves me. I intend to pour Jesus' grace over every person I meet, especially teens! As a trauma survivor, myself, and inspired by a 'once upon a time counsellor extraordinaire' in my teen years, I followed the Holy Spirit's prompting to pursue my grad/master's and postgrad/doctoral studies in crisis and trauma counselling. I specialise in holistic, whole person healing and recovery for teen survivors of sexual trauma. I am especially enthused by the beauty of group dynamics and marvel at the incredible insight, hope, and strength survivors share with one another when they finally realise their intrinsic worth in Christ!
I am delighted to serve underprivileged new mums and babies in a developing country, and am passionate about candidly discussing teen topics such as fluttery first love, relationships, interpersonal communication, intimacy, pre-marital sex, unexpected pregnancy, life, abortion, abuse, adoption, teen parenthood, and ultimately God's beautiful plan for sexuality in our lives. Just for the record—I absolutely believe EVERYTHING is relentlessly redeemable!
Please join me in getting to know Bridget Jamieson and her peers in the land of the Kiwis as she navigates a world of pressure and privilege, mess and miracles, relentless redemption and astounding grace.
F.A.Q.
The "WHY" of Choosing Life
Have you watched the news recently? I dare you to turn it on. And what will you find? Sex sells. Period. Pregnancy praised or condemned, providing profit or predicament depending on the circumstances. Abortion unapologetically heralded as the compassionate choice to successfully curtail the needless suffering of yet another unwanted child in an overpopulated world to an underprivileged, underage would be mother. And life? What of life? Life is a debate ever ready to emerge. Simply, the contents of pregnancy? A Foetus? Or actual unborn child? Valued or valueless?
Pro-choice, aka pro-abortion, emulated as the compassionate side. Pro-life, aka anti-abortion, expressed as a cruel, archaic, compassionless form of punishment forcing an unwanted burden on an unsuspecting woman. Sound like anything you’ve heard recently or for the last two decades perhaps? Politics will most likely never be aside in these matters and yet, no amount of partisan name calling is going to settle the matter. Why? Because quite simply, no, scratch that, quite complexly, abortion is a matter of the heart.
A heart topic that requires us to transform our belief that it is all political conversation. Or purely medical procedures. And delve into the truth of its complexity, that abortion is indeed spiritual and emotional. We have to take ourselves to a place of understanding what empty arms really feel like. Actually, fathom, and literally empathise with the haunting emptiness and nearly irreparable, silent, scar-less wounds left on an unsuspecting heart when a once growing life within her prematurely ends. Resulting from a choice of perhaps pressure; projected perfectionism; secrecy; shame; hurt; or the ever-embracing arms of the secular world and their utterly convincing arguments that an unborn life was never really a life at all.
We have to personally discover the undeniable truth that our worth is found in Christ not in ourselves. And His incomprehensible, all-consuming, overwhelming, never-ending love for us and His passionate, personal pursuit to save our lives is exactly the reason we can come to the awareness that all life is valuable. Especially those awaiting the opportunity to experience life outside the womb.
And even-still, abortion is not a solo topic exclusive to the underprivileged classes. It is shockingly prevalent in the middle, upper middle, and upper classes of most societies worldwide and more specifically for the purposes of this discussion within the Christian community where we prefer to hush, blush, or rush aside these topics in an effort to emulate decorum, propriety, higher moral ground, and projected perfectionism.
This book engages teens and parents in a much needed, often avoided, candid and honest dialogue about the complexities of sex in our lives. Making abortion understandable, though not permissible, amidst navigating projected perfectionism, keeping up appearances, shamed secrecy, and the undeniable emotional intimacies involved in choosing life for one’s unborn child. Ultimately, revealing the relentless redemption of our Saviour in all circumstances and our ever-apparent need for His unabashed grace to be poured over us.

Paul advises believers in Philippians 2:1-5 (NIV, 1973/2011) to be mindful and live with an awareness of the present. A cognitive component is “to take every thought captive” (2 Corinthians 10:5). Moreover, Paul encourages people to be transformed by the renewing of their minds (Romans 12:2) and to practise “God-honouring thoughts” (Philippians 4:9). In this way, personal awareness of feelings and subsequent meditation on God’s words offers individuals the opportunity to reframe negative feelings more positively; focusing on God’s promises of grace and comfort whilst not worrying or being distracted about the future (Matthew 6:25-34).
The Lord promises those who place their hope in Him will be renewed in their strength (Isaiah 40:31) and that even in suffering the God of all grace will restore His children, make them strong, firm, and steadfast (1 Peter 5:10).

Unbroken Praise by Matt Redman — There was season in my daughters' lives when we were facing undeniable hardship and we decided we needed to exchange panic for PRAISE. We would blast this album in our car, unabashedly lift our voices, shouting out God's truths and promises before we could see the manifestation of His Glory. There is something miraculous that happens when we choose to praise instead of panic! I will tell you all of heaven came to battle on our behalf one truly miraculous day and the Lord gave us beyond restoration in ways we may never be able to truly explain. And on the days when I cannot seem to push through challenges, I get on my knees, often around 3 am, silently in my room, and worship to the "Majesty of the Most High!" I pray that you feel the Holy Spirit's heavenly glow as you choose praise—no matter the battle or the story. He is the great Rescuer!

And HE IS FOR YOU! Amen.

The Blessing U.K. — The moment I saw my home church come together in this beautiful rendition of the blessing with so many other believers across the U.K., my heart just burst with the hope and knowledge that we are not alone, we are all connected through our heavenly Father. Because He has adopted us in, we have brothers and sisters across the globe, even on the days when we might feel so very far away from the home of our heart—wherever that might be for you—you are not alone, we are with you, but more importantly, HE IS WITH YOU! And HE IS FOR YOU! Amen.
The Blessing in American Sign Language (Interpretation—Ezelis Sanderson) — this is the most beautiful rendition of this song I have ever seen in a visual representation. Many of you may not know this but the Lord quite unexpectedly blessed me with a son that accesses the world through visual means and overnight we began to see the Lord in a new light. ASL became an integral a part of our world. I hope you will open you eyes to the vast unexpected possibilities God has for you in you life.
La Benediction Francais (The French Blessing) Kids— if you are a young person, know your voice matters. YOU MATTER! Lift your praise up to the Lord. He HEARS you! I promise.

The Lord is with you always. He loves you. He sees you. He wants you. He cherishes you. He draws near to you. He CHOOSES you! Amen.
