Review by Heather Froeschl

For everyone who knows a child, "Calling All Hearts" is a book of poetry that will reach out to you and touch your soul. What better way to reach the world and inspire than by the written word? Rodney Timms has not had an easy life and it is his mission to change the lives of those children that are suffering as he did.

Each poem is filled with emotion and caring. Each page supports Childhelp USA, an organization that helps to prevent child abuse. Each person who reads this book will come away wanting to help, wanting to make the call that can save a life. This book will deeply touch those who have been abused, and those who know them.

Rodney Timms is a survivor. His poetry is telling and straightforward. It is sometimes sad and often evokes terrible images of child abuse. It is these images that he hopes will encourage the reader to take a stand against the violence. He offers poetry of joyful love for his grandchildren and special memories of his family as well. "Calling All Hearts" is a creative and expressive outreach that will speak to the heart of everyone who reads it.
