Monumental moments are the parts of everyday life that give us a chance to let God offer His solution for our day-to-day world. He wants to walk with us, plan with us, and guide us into His known, which might be our unknown. God has a design on our life and wants to do the "life thing" with us. He doesn't want to be someone we call at the last minute. Consider a new choice. It is essential to find God at the beginning of our need and not at the end. This book offers examples of people who called on Him for help and others who went alone, considering the outcome of those decisions.
