Fifteen Minutes

We all have our "Fifteen Minutes"

Best-selling Christian author Karen Kingsbury does not disappoint in her newest novel, "Fifteen Minutes," a story of discovering what is truly important in life. "Fifteen Minutes" tells us the story of Zack Dylan - your normal, run-of-the-mill guy whose life becomes a whirlwind when he appears on "Fifteen Minutes" - an American Idol-like show in which he is the favorite. It tells us the story of Reese, Zack's girlfriend, that he leaves behind in Kentucky as he pursues his dream. It tells us the story of Zack's family - who watch from afar as they see Zack affected by instantaneous fame and stardom. It tells us the story of Chandra Olson - a previous winner of the 'reality' show who has returned as a judge simply to find meaning to her now messy life. As we watch this story unfold - we see that everything has a cost. We become lost in Zack's story because Zack's story is likely our own. We have all experienced that "Fifteen Minutes" in our lives - maybe not on a reality TV show competition that lands in the spotlight as THE next BIG thing, but when we focus too much on things the world says are important ... money, fancy cars, big houses, job status and these things overtake us and we lose sight of what and who is truly important. Will Zack win it all? Will he be America's next BIG thing? At what cost will this come? Find out the answers as you delve into the life-changing words of Karen's latest masterpiece - more than just a story, you will be inspired and encouraged. You will be challenged to remember to focus on what is truly important. THANK YOU Karen for again allowing God to use you as an instrument to share His love, His light, His grace in this broken world - "sometimes God's voice is hard to hear over the world" - and I am so thankful that you continue to respond to His call to be His voice to the world!
