From #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury comes an
inspiring Baxter Family novel about a beloved high school principal who
starts a Bible Study to improve the lives of his struggling students,
only to become the national focus of a controversial lawsuit.
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 timely and nuanced exploration of religious freedom and what it means
to be a person of faith in today's culture, In This Moment will
satisfy Kingsbury fans, old and new.
