Review:

“Loving Moments,” number eight in Yvonne Lehman’s “Moments” compilation series, features “59 Inspirational Stories of the many Faces of Love.” The books royalties, as in the eight other books in the “Moments” series, are dedicated to Franklin Graham’s evangelical organization, Samaritans Purse.

Pacific Northwest authors, Terri Elders, Beverly Hill McKinney, Lydia Harris and Colleen R. Reece among many others share personal stories of love and life-sustaining faith. For example, Lydia’s story, “A Valentine for Jesus, my Bridegroom,” (pg. 27) features a theme of valentines, hearts and God’s love that inspire readers to examine their commitment to the Lord in light of His sacrifice. For example, is your heart devoted to praise, thankfulness and patience or is your heart divided, self-centered and unforgiving?

Terri Elders narrative, “All Those Years Ago,” (pg. 85) is about life-milestones, time-capsules a son’s love and their shared love of music. To celebrate special days such as birthdays, her son records gifts for his mother of her years-old music favorites. Listening to the recordings bring back fond memories that memorialize and provide “candid snapshots of previous loving moments.”

Colleen Reece’s story, “Unspoken Love,” set in the rural logging town of 1950’s Darrington, Washington, reveals the impact of a father’s love on his daughter. It’s about a special trip to Everett, Washington and the purchase of a very special gift, “the only gift” Colleen ever received from her father, one that she still has and cherishes.

Beverly Hill McKenny’s story, “The Locket,” (pg. 113) is a tale of human love, faith and the heavenly Father’s love for His children wrapped in a miraculous and unexpected birthday gift. It’s a gift only a loving heavenly Father could provide that reveals God is a loving father who “makes anything possible.”

Fifty-nine heartwarming stories of love and faith showcase the many different faces of love of husbands, wives, sons, daughters or devoted friends. The inspirational book’s slim size easily slips into brief case or bag which makes them a perfect choice for spare moments, coffee breaks or doctor and dentist appointments."
