"Wait \wāt\-(verb) to remain stationary in readiness or expectation."

Have you ever felt like your life was at a stand-still? Have you ever watched from the sidelines as people, time, and opportunity pass you by?

You may believe that your season of waiting is a period of temporary neglect and delay; it might even be commonplace for you to expend considerable time and energy fighting against this process despite its inevitability.

Waiting, however, is an inescapable part of life. During this struggle you can easily miss the invaluable treasures waiting to be discovered along the journey.

In "Seemingly Stalled? Lessons Learned from the Shoulder of Life's Highway," author and teacher Najiyyah Brooks Harris brilliantly blends humor from personal experiences, biblical instruction, and soul-stirring inspiration into a guide of wisdom on how to navigate through life during the times when you are forced to be still.

Readers will find themselves soaring with new perspective! It will be impossible to ever view the "Seemingly Stalled?" moments in our lives the same way again.
