The Soul’s Hole

Living in Freedom and Joy After Abortion

By: Kelly Baker Proehl

A transformative listen for the one in four women who’ve been there—and the friends who walked with them. In this honest and heartfelt book, Kelly Baker Proehl opens up about her post-abortion journey, offering a lifeline of grace, healing, and redemption.

Imagine the women all around you, those in the grocery line, your Bible study group, and the conference room—now consider that one in four women has walked into one of the coldest, most lifeless four walls that exist: an abortion center. If you are holding this book, you have likely had an abortion(s), and if you have not, you took a friend, sat with a friend, or know a friend who has experienced that trauma.

Find healing and community through the testimony of Kelly Baker Proehl and six other incredibly brave women. They bare their souls so that you would know you are not alone and that others might avoid facing the same heart-wrenching pain. Kelly Baker Proehl vulnerably expresses the cascade of emotions that followed her abortion, describing how it forever left a hole in her soul. Above all, listeners will discover that it is not an unforgivable sin, and there is healing to be had in community and repentance.

Being bold in the Lord to share her story of abortion and her healing in the Lord. What the enemy uses for evil God wiill use for good!

The way abortion impacts every women is so different but so the same. I wasn't alone in my feelings and I thought I was.

This book was beautifully written. I cried a lot more than I thought I would. I thought I was healed from my past abortions through therapy and forgiveness. After I heard other testimonials it hit me in my heart and I realized how much this has hurt me. I healed from reading this and will forever be grateful!
