When My Soul

Needs Refuge

Poetry and prose for women of faith who are carrying more than they can hold—and learning to lay it down.

When My Soul Needs Refuge is the first of The Moments in Soul-journ Series. Dr. Jeanetta takes the lead in this endeavour by sharing struggle, discontentment, and miserable failure mixed with intense focus, pleasure, and triumph—all of which exist in the heartbeats of our lives.

Each poem prompts you to meditate for self-reflection and growth. Every passage highlights a loss, win, challenge, or success worthy of savoring.

Through encouragement, joyful hope, and discretion, you will be able to find comfort, inspiration, and wisdom in the book, When My Soul Needs Refuge.

Themes Woven Through Every Page

FAITH & FAITHULNESS


✦

Devotional prose for women who are trusting God’s genius even when the path is unclear and the silence feels long.

Forty Years of Words

in the Making

Dr. Jeanetta D. Sims began writing poetry at age 13 in Chandler, Oklahoma. Inspired by a love of Maya Angelou, she holds a deep belief that words, chosen carefully, can voice what a heart is challenged to hold.

Forty years and a Hall-of-Fame career later, she brings her inaugural book of poetry and prose to women of faith who know what it is to grieve quietly, lead courageously, and wonder if God still sees them in the in-between.

LEADERSHIP & LEGACY


✦

Poems that challenge women to lead with the impeccability their calling demands and to build work that outlasts their tenure.

✦


RELATIONSHIPS & LOVE

Intimate reflections on friendship, motherhood, and the complex bonds that shape a woman’s soul and define her legacy.

✦

Unflinching verse on navigating the tense moments of U.S. race relations with dignity, endurance, and an unshaken sense of worth.

✦


CAREER & CALLING

Words for the woman navigating ambition alongside faith and family—and refusing to suppress, shrink, or settle for less than God designed.
