In This Moment: A Novel Kindle Edition

#1 New York Times–Bestselling Author: A principal’s Bible Study program helps turn his troubled high school around—but a lawsuit may put it all at risk . . .

Hamilton High Principal Wendell Quinn wants to see real change in his community, so he starts a voluntary after-school Bible Study and prayer program called Raise the Bar. He knows he is risking his job by leading the program, but before long, Raise the Bar meetings are standing room only.

A year later, violence and gang activity are sharply down, test scores are up, and drug use and teen pregnancy have plummeted. The program is clearly working—until one parent files a lawsuit, claiming Wendell has violated his daughter’s rights.

But Principal Quinn knows God is on his side, and he refuses to back down. As he prepares for court, he is deluged by a storm of national attention and criticism. He wants just one attorney on his side in the fight of his life—Luke Baxter.

A nuanced exploration of religious freedom and what it means to be a person of faith in today’s culture,
In This Moment is “a timely look at the crossroads of public law and religious freedom [handled] in a sensitive manner” (Library Journal).

Christians need to not be afraid. Pray in restaurants before your meals, where people can see you. Show kindness to the people who are taking care of you so that they see the love of Christ in you.

How do I sum up my feelings and perceptions of this book? It has touched my heart and soul in so many ways. The characters are alive and the struggles are real. I’m a senior adult, age 84, and have had many struggles and have had my faith challenged more than once in my lifetime. God has blessed me and always seen me through just as he did Wendal, Alicia, Luke and the students at Hamilton High. Our religious freedoms are being ripped apart piece by piece and we’re not doing much about it. I would recommend this book to everyone and hopefully it would inspire them to obey God and fight for religious freedom. This story is real, friends. Thank you for letting God use your writing skills to get His word out, Karen.

This tremendous story could easily be the first news story in the national news today. Yes, it's that relevant to this time in which we live. The strong characters get stronger, some weak ones become strong through their struggles with the help of God. A story not to be missed!

What an inspirational and well written novel! There mwere many twists and turns, but the main message was what happens when we have total faith in God. One of the best books I have read.

I really loved reading In This Moment. Religious freedom violations are happening more and more this day and time. And Karen did a wonderful job of bringing this story to life. I really liked how God worked everything out in the end.

You don't need to know all the past characters from Karen Kingsbury's previous books to get absorbed into this story. But it certainly has inspired me to know more about their stories. Looking forward to learning more about some of the characters in her previous novels.
