From this Moment by Kim Vogel Sawyer

My Review

From this moment by Kim Vogel Sawyer is a contemporary Christian romance story with such good messages. Kenzie has left the Amish community and is working in a fabric store. In her spare time she weaves items to donate to missions. He boss’s sister has sent her a large box of clothing to use for her weaving and in one of the item’s pocket is a ring. Despite putting a notice on social media, no one has been able to fully describe the ring.

Lori works with Kenzie in the fabric shop and often gives her rides to church and social gatherings. When the shop suffers financially, Lori volunteers to go part time and take a cleaning position at their church.

Jase has recently moved to town to be the church’s youth pastor and to help out the elderly pastor. Jase is recovering from losing his fiance and is struggling to move on. When searching his memento box, he realizes her ring is missing, thinking one of his youth may have taken it, he reports it to law enforcement.

This is a touching story of three young adults who are all struggling with loss in one way or another. It is an enjoyable story to read and see how the three help each other . This story touches on topics of mourning loss, eating disorders and wanting to lead others to the Lord. Basically this is a very good clean story with just touches of deep friendship and young romance. I liked the sdiscussion questions in the back of the book, especially where do you see these people a year from now. Does this hint at a follow up for Kenzie? I hope so.

I voluntarily received a complementary ebook of this story from WaterBrook Multnomah from NetGalley. This is my honest review.

About the Book

Growing up in the foster care system, Jase Edgar always dreamed of one day starting his own family. But his fiancée’s untimely death shattered his plans. Moving to Kansas and serving as a youth minister should be a fresh start, but he can’t seem to set aside his doubts about God’s goodness long enough to embrace his new life.

Newly-appointed church custodian, Lori Fowler is battling her own challenges. Her strained relationship with her father and her struggles with overeating convince her she’s not worthy enough for love. When an Amish weaver enlists their help locating the owner of a ring found among the donated clothing she uses as fabric, Jase and Lori find themselves drawn to each other. But will they be able to release the past and move forward from this moment into a joyful future?
