I met Chantal Moodaley in 2011, and we have been relating to each other as Christian authors and poets since then. I was honoured to publish her first book Old Testament Stories for Kids in 2017. Her unique ability to bring to life poetic insights gained from personal experiences and life lessons is refreshing and nothing short of life-changing. In her new book ‘Changing of Tides’ Chantal amplifies and celebrates the livid experiences of a woman with a timeline outlined with disappointments, rejections, crossroads, grit, breakthroughs, renewed hope, new beginnings, and victories. One of the most evocative and profound verses from Chantal’s book comes from her poem ‘Love at first fight’.
