Book Review: The In-Between

The In-Between
What is the next “Big Thing” in your life? Graduation? Marriage? First job? New job? Job promotion? Vacation? Retirement?

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in the middle, spinning your wheels, just “biding your time” until that next big moment?

What if the really important stuff in life wasn’t the big moments, but the waiting, the “biding your time”, the filler … the In-Between?

And what if you missed the really important stuff because you were looking right past it, not even seeing it, because you didn’t even think it was the important stuff?

There are probably few people on the planet who have not heard Josh Groban sing his signature song, “You Raise Me Up”. It was released on his second studio album, “Closer”, on November 11, 2003. Josh appeared on Good Morning America to promote the album on its release date, and sang “You Raise Me Up” live in the GMA studios. Like everyone else, I loved the song. But as he was singing, I thought to myself, “I’ve heard that song before.”
