Cradle My Heart

Because the American culture has long accepted the termination of a pregnancy as a woman’s right, women who have had abortions rarely talk about the impact those decisions had on their lives. Many women silently carry the pain and burden of it, sometimes for decades. Cradle My Heart is a resource that can open a safe path for healing and restoration of relationship to a loving God. Women who take the Cradle My Heart journey will find the freedom promised but not realized after making that irrevocable decision. The path is open and safe. We welcome you to join those of us who have found peace and love at its end.–Catherine Davis, author, speaker, and founder and president of The Restoration Project (4/10/2025 12:00:00 AM)Kim Ketola’s Cradle My Heart is a powerful and compassionate guide for navigating the complexities of abortion recovery. As someone who survived my birth mother’s forced and failed abortion procedure, I know firsthand the deep emotional, spiritual, and physical wounds that can be carried as a result of abortion. Kim offers a safe space for grieving and for embracing God’s forgiveness, while also encouraging readers to find their voices in this sensitive and often misunderstood journey. Her compassionate approach acknowledges the realities of abortion, while pointing to a future full of healing, peace, and redemption.–Melissa Ohden, author of Abortion Survivors Break Their Silence (4/10/2025 12:00:00 AM)Kim’s book Cradle My Heart is recommended reading in the Silent No More Awareness Campaign for those seeking healing. This new edition also offers help for pastors and those tasked with assisting in the healing process. After we find our healing, we find strength. And healing allows our stories to be rooted in his grace.–Georgette Forney, president of Anglicans for Life (4/10/2025 12:00:00 AM)Kim’s book has helped many with truth from the heart of Christ. This new edition encompasses twenty years of her experience, and has an added appendix written specifically for pastors and faith leaders to equip them in gently guiding women who are grieving their abortions. Whether you have experienced that trauma or are working with women who have, transforming hurt into hope is possible–and within these pages, Kim will help you find a way.–Theresa Burke, PhD, author of Forbidden Grief, and founder of Rachel’s Vineyard Ministries (4/10/2025 12:00:00 AM)Pastors are leading a generation who are quietly, even secretly, traumatized by abortion. As a pastor, I did not realize how true this was. I could have used the wisdom, factual data, testimony, and the biblical moral reasoning found in Cradle My Heart. If you want to lead well, here is a helpful guide.–John Ensor, president of PassionLife Ministries (4/10/2025 12:00:00 AM)Pastors, I get it! Speaking on abortion is risky business. Done harshly, you wound those already grieving over sin. On the flip side, when we are silent, we either communicate that abortion is permissible or that it’s unforgivable. We desperately need biblically grounded and grace-filled ambassadors to minister to those God has entrusted to us. With that in mind, I recommend Kim Ketola with my highest blessings. She has not only mastered the pro-life position intellectually, but also she delivers her content with a heart for ministry that is both thoughtful and redemptive. Please use this godly resource to inform your ministry! You will not regret it.–Scott Klusendorf, speaker and author of The Case for Life (4/10/2025 12:00:00 AM)
