About Our Book
“9 Days of Refuge” guides readers through a nine-day personal retreat, offering relatable imagery, reflection questions, words of encouragement, and meditation prompts that foster personal growth.
It invites women to pause, reflect, and take life-giving steps forward, moment by moment.
While it does not discuss pregnancy options, it gently points readers toward support, care, and available resources.
Our Inspiration
“9 Days of Refuge” was written after much prayer and discernment about the gap that exists between a woman’s initial pregnancy care appointment—when her baby’s life is revealed through a pregnancy test and ultrasound—and her follow-up medical care, when life-giving voices are often few or absent.
This nine-day retreat creates space for pause and reflection during that gap, while also extending and pointing the reader back to the encouraging, loving voice of the life-giving person who shared the book with her.
Book Reviews
“Your book has been a source of peace and hope for some of our clients. One mother shared that she feels the Lord’s presence and is confident in choosing life for her baby after initially contemplating abortion. She has also decided to return to her Catholic faith and baptize all of her children.”

“What an uplifting book! In our messy world today, this book brings hope for pregnant women, hope for those suffering from any kind of decision, hope for those who have lost a job, hope for those suffering from depression and anxiety, and the list goes on. Knowing that you are not alone is a gift from God! Through prayer and meditation, we can become strong women/men to help change the world!”

Pilot Phase
4 of 8 women chose to continue their pregnancies after receiving “9 Days of Refuge.”
In 2024, we partnered with Essential Pregnancy Services (EPS) in Omaha, Nebraska, to pilot the book.
Of the eight women who received “9 Days of Refuge,” four—both Christian and non-Christian—remained in contact with EPS nurses, shared that the book uplifted them, and chose to continue their pregnancies after initially considering termination.
The book served as a tool to extend the nurses’ care during the gap between appointments, reinforcing the presence and encouragement of the life-giving people supporting them. Each of these women also enrolled in pregnancy and parenting services.
