by Martha Dalton Ward (Author)
Momentslife is a sequence of them. In the joyous times, the spectacular instances seem to hurry by too quickly. In the routine of everyday life, ordinary moments slip by often unnoticed. During anxious times, it is as though every minute creeps by at an agonizingly slow pace. But as Rev. Martha Ward illustrates, God is present at all times, and if we open ourselves to that reality, every moment is holy. In Holy Moments: When Life and Faith Intersect, Rev. Ward links her own personal stories and those of her family with key scriptures to illustrate the variety of ways our life events become holy moments. Her hope is that readers will use her reflections as a springboard to consider how God is present in the moments of their lives.
