Book Description

August 21, 2001
“Seize this opportunity! Explore this terrific book and let Jim White help you maximize the defining moments in your life. Your attitudes, your character, your priorities, your relationships, and your future will never be the same!”
– Lee Strobel, author of The Case for Christ and The Case for Faith

Seize the Most Important Moments of Your Life.
In the Western world, we think of time as the passage of minute and hours, days and weeks. But biblical writers used a word that gives time a deeper meaning, kairos, which speaks to the very quality and content of time itself.
All time is not the same. Every moment is not equal.
Some moments simply pass. Others are filled with opportunity, pregnant with eternal significance and possibility. In light of heaven, there can be no doubt about the significance that fills the kairos moments. These are the moments that determine life itself.

In Your Life’s Defining Moments: Choosing Wisely When It Counts, you’ll explore the most pivotal moments in human experience and learn how you can use them to be transformed into the person you were created to be.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

How many "kairos moments" have you seized for eternity? White (Rethinking the Church; A Search for the Spiritual) compels readers to ask just this question as he expounds upon the courage needed to make tough choices in matters of the heart and of faith. Biblical writers offer a definition of time beyond the mere sequencing of events; these ancients speak of "kairos," which is described by White as "time filled with opportunity, a moment pregnant with eternal significance and possibility." Under the most insignificant circumstances, Christians can find themselves facing decisions that either fulfill personal vision or sabotage it. Passionate seekers will discover that kairos moments occur constantly, as ordinary events point to larger issues such as obedience, self-revelation, failure, moral courage, suffering, forgiveness, temptation, repentance and understanding God. White speaks profoundly about meeting failure squarely and pressing beyond it. Specifically, he says, Christians should train themselves to bring to mind others who have succeeded and use those stories to propel them forward. Pressing ahead also involves personal introspection, as one casts off any hindrances to growth while simultaneously nurturing a patience that is willing to see a vision through to its completion. White's finely tuned manual challenges Christians to think seriously about affecting eternal changes with their personal choices.

4.0 out of 5 stars Make your moments count, December 18, 2004
This review is from: Life-Defining Moments: Daily Choices with the Power to Transform Your Life (Hardcover)
Life-Defining Moments is not a book about moments that happened, but about moments that each individual can make happen. When we are faced with the choice we need to make, being willing to make the life-defining choice is critical. Otherwise, it can be life as usual and the same mistakes will result and we will not have lived life as God intended. James Emery White provides a simple but practical guide to help Christ followers to choose wisely, and non-Christ followers to face the choice they need to make. A must read for those who are "pressing on toward the high calling".
