The Waiting Room: Trusting God's Process is for anyone who is believing in God for a breakthrough, whether it be mentally, physically, emotionally, or all three. Your life may appear as though God is not moving on your behalf or does not care about your situation (big or small). Take heart because He does! You're just in God's process of becoming who He created you to be. Perhaps you received a word or sermon that resonated with you, but you would much rather have the breakthrough than a word alone. Although a word from God is helpful, it does not satisfy your desire for a breakthrough. Trust me! I have been there. I, too, found myself receiving words from God but would much rather have the breakthrough instead. Despite what was revealed, I still tried to figure things out. I knew God had not forgotten me because He responded to my prayers. I eventually felt like I was placed in a waiting room to be seen by the Great Physician, the One who can heal and restore anything, the One who can manifest a breakthrough at any moment. The Waiting Room: Trusting God's Process is a compilation of revelations I have received during my experience in the waiting room.

In the year 2020, the worldwide COVID-19 virus closed down the entire world when we were quarantined and advised to stay in our homes. Everything came to a standstill. It was then that the process of writing this book began. It is said that everyone's life is a book. After years of recording events in journals and keeping photo albums and homemade movies with the hand-me-downs from three generations, I decided to share my life in book form. Then at the advanced age of ninety years, I was amazed that my memory was still able to recall these memories. However, they are the clutter of my collections. I thank God for the early morning hours of quiet time spent in God's "Word" with my Bible and devotionals and for my mind and physical ability to pursue this venture. The "good news" is always worth sharing. We have the privilege of using our limited time on earth to spread His life-changing truth of love with others. Even during the turbulent and loneliest occasions we encounter, He is always there to provide what we need (Corinthians 2:12-17). This has been a joy, an experience, and has been my pleasure sharing my writings in my book The Waiting Room with you. My prayer is that you will be blessed as a reader of my life. What's amazing is that God uses our prayers to accomplish His plans. May God's blessings be with you (Romans 8:28). Amen!

Dr. Henry Hall, retired professor and stubborn agnostic, has died. After being transported to a dingy, grey waiting room filled with the newly deceased, he waits for the celestial bureaucracy to assign him his fate. Even in an afterlife obviously controlled by the world's major religions, Dr. Hall refuses to accept any of the officially recognized faiths. At the final judgment, his paperwork is stamped and he is thrown through a portal into the unknown.

The Waiting Room There is nothing so frustrating as waiting in an age of instant gratification. If the wait is for something important and life-changing it is all the more anticipated. This book deals with the psychology and philosophy involved in waiting and how knowing this can, in fact, be a life-altering experience that has profound effects on reshaping one's moral integrity. What has been viewed as a negative experience is now seen as a positive opportunity to renew the mind of Christ in the believer. Perception and expectations are refocused dramatically.

This book is unique in modern christian spiritual literature. Inspired in its form by the Canterbury Tales of the great Geoffrey Chaucer, it consists of six stories told by the passengers in the 'Waiting Room'of a small country railway station. As the German aerpolanes flew overhead, dropping bombs and destroying the London docks, one winter night in 1940, a small group of travellers experinced an unforeseen vigil with an extraordinary conclusion. This book could be seen as a Symphony in words, themes coming and going, and only at the last lines do they all come together, and the reason of the whole is discovered. For those who search for a spiritual life in this world, which is itself the Waitng 'Room' for all of us, this book is a 'must.'

Mysteriously torn from their lives, six individuals find themselves in a room. They have no memory of how they got there. They are lost and in the dark. Lovingly, JESUS takes each of them back in time to the critical moment where they made the one choice that will determine whether heaven awaits them, or hell. And what they discover is more shocking than anything they could ever imagine. This story weaves a harrowing tale of unforgotten sins, remembered miracles, and how a series of disparaging events inextricably tie six people together from life to death.

Have you ever found yourself in a "waiting room", feeling alone and totally helpless? These true stories inspire you to see His beauty, even in the midst of your trial.
