Very good book!! I don't have a lot of time to read, but I didn't want to put this book down until I finished it!! From chapter to chapter, it leaves you wanting to know what happens next and it is very relevant to peoples busy lives this day and time!! We should all check our priorities!!

just as with the first novel the penny, I picked this book up and read it from cover to cover without stoping, Sarah Harper has a lot on her mind all the time, things she shouldn't have there, they were not her burdens to carry, durning the book you find out durning the time she is gone (her words in the book) she mets wingtip who has already met her son mitchell, well i could go on and on and tell the whole book, but, buy it read it you will not be sorry, Sarah does come out of it a changed woman and goes about changing the way others view her as well. well worth the read and the price

The characters in this book remind me of myself and of others I live, worship and work with. Credible and soul-searching - and realistic in that even though God changes our attitude and behaviour, change in relationships and in circumstances often lags behind! But anything is possible with God's help... very encouraging reading.

Joyce Meyer may be known for her non-fiction books filled with inspiration and spiritual insight, but she might just have something to offer the fictional world as well. Together with Deborah Bedford they have presented us with the book "Any Minute". What happens when a wife and mother obsessed with her career has a brush with death (maybe more than a brush, more like a punch)? Can she get her priorities straight? Can she salvage her relationship with her children? Her husband? Is it too late or not?I really enjoyed seeing how this story unfolded and I think my favorite part is that while Sarah may have changed, it didn't magically make everything perfect. Very real life, but still with a happy ending. Very good book!

The message is that we don't know how much time we have left, and that any minute we could be taken away. Cherish the time you have with your family and don't take them for granted. Throughout the first half of the book, I just wanted to keep screaming at Sarah for the flippant way she was treating her family. I understand that her job was important, but the fact that she couldn't see how it was affecting her relationships really bugged me. I appreciated that the book did not try to make it seem that it was condemning women who work outside of the home and being away from their children. I have read some Christian fiction books that seem to make that point and it always annoyed me at how chauvinist it seemed that the women was supposed to stay at home while the man is the one that does all the work.. In this book however, the story is not blaming Sarah for wanting to work, just how she happened to handle everything.I think the harshest moment in the book was the fact that Sarah has sacrificed everything for her boss and the company, and has pretty much died trying to do things for them. Yet it doesn't seem to matter at all. Her boss, after finding out about her death, pretty much dismisses it and is already looking to replace her with no sympathy at all. Another heart wrenching aspect of the story is when Sarah realizes why her mother treated and acted the way she did towards Sarah her entire life. While it still doesn't give her the right to act that way towards her daughter, Sarah's mother becomes a more sympathetic character when we find out about her past. If there's anything I didn't like about the book, it would have to be the ending. I just thought it was too "let's tidy up everything" and seemed rather predictable. I thought it would have had a better effect if the unexpected had happened. Other than this, I enjoyed the book and thought it was a good read with a strong message. It makes you see life in a whole new way.
