by Richard D. Timmins

"Once again, Richard D. Timmins demonstrates true literary genius in the five vignettes comprising his Levels of Love. By his skilled utilization of imagery, he leads the reader into the subjective experiences of the characters herein and into a time of existential reality and pondering. From the range of emotions felt by Christ in 'With the Father to the heartache and pain of addictive bondage portrayed in 'The Assumption,' the reader is led into new levels of awareness. From the tender, sweet moments depicted in 'Because of Her,' to the spiritual elation attained by David in 'The Path of Blessing,' readers are beckoned into different modes of consciousness and emotion. Finally, 'Love's Ultimate Expression' subtly conveys the reader to transcendent dimensions of 'Kingdom' nature." -Shanti Carol Turner BA Psychology, MSW
