A single father of four, Quinn is a Christian and a family man. He wants to see change in his community, so he starts a voluntary after-school Bible Study and prayer program. He knows he is risking his job by leading the program, but the high turnout at every meeting encourages him. A year later, violence and gang activity are down, test scores are up, and drug use and teen pregnancy have plummeted. The program is clearly workinguntil one parent calls the press. Now Quinn faces a lawsuit that could ruin everything. With a storm of national attention and criticism, Quinn is at a crossroadshe must choose whether to cave in and shut down the program or stand up for himself and his students.

I have read all of Karen Kingsbury books and loved them. This one, unfortunately, had me cringing. I almost returned it to the library before finishing it, however, I forced myself to finish it. I didn‘t enjoy it and it has left me wondering if I will read another one of her books. It was way to political and the characters are unrealistic. The Baxter family are minor characters in this novel even though it is advertised as a Baxter family novel.

In This Moment by Karen Kingsbury is another great Baxter story. This time Luke fights for religious liberty, a theme of our day. Recommend

Laura317 I‘ve read some her books before, but I just don‘t care for some of the Baxter storylines. THIS one, however, intrigued me. Especially in today‘s climate. 7y
InnerSavvy @Laura317 yes it is very current and more about the principal and his struggle than the Baxters. 7y

I'm listening to this on audiobook, and as per usual, Karen Kingsbury hits a powerful spot in my heart, with this one.
