Testimonials
“In A Time, Full of Doubt,….”
“The overwhelming theme of these letters is the love that our Savior has for us and the lessons he has guided people through for centuries. Seeing things through him are never insurmountable and that a great plan is still in the works gives people faith that they needed during this uncertain time. Grounded in scripture, it talks about events which others have endured and how the Lord’s hand guided them during these times. Then it gently reminds us that he is still in control.
I found this compilation comforting and faith inspiring. To know that you are not alone in what you can often feel in the darkest of times is comforting. Turning to Faith when there is no reasonable explanation to the “why” is a time old tradition. The letters are short enough that they are easy to read but full of enough content to have a lasting impact. I enjoyed this book very much and know it will be inspiring in many ways to all readers.”

Pacific Book Review
“Food for the Spirit”
“Though the specific challenges of 2020 and 2021 have been tackled and conquered, the lessons of those days still have relevance and parallels even now, and this book will inspire its readers to be grateful for the things that kept them going then while also finding strength to keep going today.”
“Each Letter is effectively paired with a pertinent Bible verse but often incorporates other teachings or examples from scripture designed to give readers hope and strength to face unprecedented obstacles.”
— Michael Radon of
The US Review of Books
“One of the unexpected benefits of the tragic Covid 19 has been it’s power to underscore the myriad of blessing we take for granted.”
Reverend Churn began composing “love Letters” to his church congregants in March 2020 when COVID-19 restrictions prevented worship gatherings. he highlights scripture and other sources, exhorting readers to appreciate their many blessings….
