Review Quotes
A real page turner. J. R. accomplishes his purpose showing that God works in every circumstance of life - be it disappointment, trouble, inconvenience or grief - His invisible hand is there making certain whatever He ordains must necessarily come to pass. Readers will see how the supernatural power at work in James' life transformed his every heartache to nothing short of lasting joy.

Amazing how in less than 150 pages, Waller produced so many emotions in The Moments in Between. In just a few pages, I was quickly pulled into James' and Jane's lives in feeling their pain and frustration with each other, then in James' numbness in trying to deal with loss. The last chapter was hard to read through tears of hope and the expectation of healing and reconciliation. Highly, highly recommend!
