Surrendering the Secret
Many women hide the secret of abortion deep in their hearts and they are suffering severe consequences. They carry a great burden of shame and failure, afraid to reveal their hidden pain, and by doing so are forced to endure the long-lasting effects in isolation. Surrendering the Secret will allow women to release this burden and find freedom through ‘redemptive community’ while experiencing hope and joy, as shame and failure are replaced with beauty. Find the path to healing through honest, interactive Bible study, meaningful group experiences, unique journaling exercises, and confidential, caring community.
Forgiven and Set Free
Disheartening numbers of women have undergone an abortion–and they need help to heal emotionally and spiritually. This study was developed out of Linda Cochrane’s own experience of being freed from the bondage of guilt and grief that followed her abortion. Forgiven and Set Free guides suffering and hurting women to bring their emotional scars from abortion “out of the dark past and into his holy light,” where true and lasting healing can take place. Appropriate Scriptures help women deal with issues such as relief, denial, anger, forgiveness, depression, letting go, and acceptance.

Healing a Father's Heart
Too often, the focus on the tragedy of abortion ignores another victim: the father. In this insightful Bible study the focal point shifts to the post-abortion father, who may feel the same guilt, shame and grief as the mother. Designed for use in a personal or group setting, Healing a Father’s Heart provides comfort and encouragement along the way to freedom from the emotions that impact their relationships with others – and with God.

Her Choice to Heal
​
Written by Sydna Masse, the Her Choice to Heal Abortion Recovery Program (Her Choice to Heal book and the companion Her Choice to Heal Recovery Guide) offers personal testimonies that help the reader identify and understand their own emotions after abortion. Each week this 9-12 week post-abortion bible study allows women to work further into the recovery process and address different emotions of healing – anger, denial, forgiveness, grief, etc. Healing exercises are also included to help the participant understand their pain and work through their grief. The personal testimonies are particularly useful when the ministry leaders are not post-abortive. The reader is also led through a daily scripture reading program as well as encouraged to memorize one verse each week. Incorporating new areas of need like breaking sexual soul ties, this abortion recovery program is a great tool for any post-abortion ministry effort.
Cradle My Heart
For eight to ten million American Christian women, abortion is not just a political or medical issue-it is a spiritual issue as well. Abortion raises questions of life and death, heaven and hell, grief and loss. You may be asking: Does God hate me? Can I be forgiven? Is it really possible to just start over with God? Kim Ketola asked these questions as well. In Cradle My Heart, she lays out a compassionate path toward spiritual healing. You will learn how to: Face yourself and face God; Forgive and be forgiven; Repent and accept God’s love; Grieve and find an end to sorrow. With an understanding and empathetic voice, Kim Ketola exposes the hurt in your heart, reveals the healing in God’s heart, and brings the two together to create a whole heart where restoration-celebration-are possible.
