In Kerry's own words — how one book turned into this whole project.
The Book
The Study Guide
This book has been a journey for me in many, many ways. The book was a gift to assist me in managing my personal walk. When I wrote the book, I had no idea the potential scope of the project that this book had started for me.
This website has become the home and support for that project. These pages contain your access to all that the project is and what, in my hope, you can get from the project as a whole.
The book is the starting point. It has been called by many as the Proof of the idea. The next step is learning more detail from the content. I decided that an aid, like a study guide, was a good way. So, I created a study guide to make that easier.
My research suggested that the book's idea would be well received by many different audiences. What I had to do was start with one. My personal experiences suggested that the church audience could be the best one to start the learning process. So, we created a Christian Living / Social Issues edition as the first version. More will follow.
The book is my attempt to convey my moments, to convey the experiences to others. I soon realized that the process should not be limited to my personal moments. The scope of the project had to include others' moments.
The study guide had to serve two purposes. Allow a reader a way to explore the book content and to enable them to capture and understand their own moments.
Creating the first Study Guide gave me a way to have anyone identify their moments and then write them down in the Guide.
The next step was to allow an individual to submit their personal moment and have it shared for others to benefit from. This is where the idea of a "Room" was started. The book speaks of a library each of us already carries — where our own moments are stored. The next step was to build a real one: a place to store and retrieve moments other people are willing to share.
So now you know how I got here. Without a single doubt, I had a lot of help getting here. So, thanks to all.

If the book is the proof, the study guide is where you start finding your own moments — and the Room is where you can share one, or read someone else's.
