Abortion continues to be a hot topic in politics, women’s rights, and medical practice. But for the eight to ten million American Christian women who have had one, abortion is a spiritual issue as well, raising questions of life and death, heaven and hell, grief and loss.

Writing from her own experience, Kim Ketola sheds light on one of the darkest and most neglected personal issues of our time: the widespread need for healing and spiritual recovery after abortion. “After abortion brought the worst trouble into my life I had ever known,” writes Ketola, “I just couldn’t see my way free to believe in God’s love.”

With a compassionate heart, Ketola offers ten true stories of healing promise from the Bible to help women answer the most common spiritual torments they face: Is abortion a sin? Does God hate me? Where can I turn in my shame and distress? How could I ever tell anyone the truth? And more.

Inspired by Romans 6:4–“just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life”–this is a definitive resource to help women see themselves and God anew and–finally–to find spiritual healing.

My Review-Cradle My Heart

This book is amazing. As you know I placed my daughter for adoption so I have never had an abortion. This book even helped me with some of the issues I have had since I placed my daughter for adoption. I didn’t think I would get anything out of the book but after I finished the book I was so glad that I took the time to read it. There are so many great things about this book that there is no way that I can do justice to the book with a review. I would recommend this book to anyone who has had an abortion or even placed a child for adoption. This book gave me hope and made me see how I can make changes and get into a better place when it comes to dealing with my feelings from the adoption.
