Our lives consist of moments. Stitched together like the seams on a coat, these moments cloak us in awareness and possibility. But what if we miss our moments? What if we live in a bland state of wandering? Seeking growth, seeking passion—but missing the moments in which God tries to pull the thread through the cloth in the way we've dreamed of?

Watershed moments are the turning points in our lives brought on by circumstances which stop us in our tracks. A new direction; a fresh perspective; an answered prayer; a humble surrender—these are the moments that redirect us; leaving us profoundly changed.

Through a progression of seven types of Watershed moments (the Watersheds of change, unraveling, rebuilding, purpose, abandoning [control], overcoming, and belief), Gari portrays life as a series of moments we encounter where we can face or turn away from change. A life marked by Watershed moments starts from the place where we live desperately hoping for some kind of new and freeing adventure.

Through the lives of Abraham, David, Rebekah, Jacob, Rachel, Nehemiah, Peter and many more, as well as through personal Watershed moments in her life and the lives of several women who have written their own stories, Watershed Moments is a bold invitation to pay attention to the revelation God gives in the twinkling of a second at our moments of change. God uses watershed moments to position us to go one direction

      We all face turning points that bring great insights and new levels of awareness. Among the most common of these is waking up to a need for change, but life holds many other important watershed moments if we are aware enough to recognize them. According to Meacham, who has inspired thousands of women through Bible studies at Second Baptist Church of Houston, comprehending the messages of watershed moments can help us overcome life's most difficult hurdles. As a mother and the wife of major-league baseball player and manager Bobby Meacham, the author shares many personal challenges: giving birth to a third child, battling an eating disorder, struggling to keep her marriage together, and learning to influence others in positive ways without attempting to control. Weaving in Bible passages, Meacham's book offers inspiration for healing ourselves and helping others.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)
