Moments for the Heart was founded in 1997 by Jeff S. Bray. The ministry began as a compilation of poetry he had written in High School. In 2008, a blog under the same name was launched. Today, Moments for the Heart has blossomed into a multi-leveled freelance enterprise.
Jeff has twenty-seven years of experience which began with writing poetry and short stories in High School. He started a Blogspot in 2008, then eventually moved to this website. In August 2017, he wrote a featured article about fatherhood for “The Lookout Magazine.” He then penned a series of five children’s books; Elissa the Curious Snail, the first was published in June 2018.
His first novel, The Five Barred Gate, was released in September 2019. Little Reminders of Who I Am, followed in August 2020. Jeff’s third novel, The Transference, was released in June 2022. All are published through WordCraftsPress.

The Five Barred Gate II – Signed Copy
Michael Andrews thought he was far removed from the events his father went through twenty years ago. He heard the bedtime stories, so much so he had driven them out and was barely speaking to his dad. Religion was the last thing he wanted, until it became the only thing that mattered. A new threat arises; his wife is arrested for talking about God to the wrong person. Now Jacob Andrews may be his only hope. He must lean on him, Rachel’s attorney, and close family who understand what occurred twenty years ago and may be happening now when an old adversary returns to wreak havoc and use current federal laws to his advantage and exact revenge on the Andrews family. Will he succeed, or will justice prevail to set Rachel free? Paperback $15.99 ($1.32 tax and $3 shipping included in the price below) — I also have Hardbound copies on hand.
