Just a Minute is a thought-provoking and inspiring book written by Wess Stafford, the former president of Compassion International, a Christian organization that seeks to release children from poverty in Jesus' name. In this book, Stafford shares personal stories and insights into the power of investing just a minute in the lives of children and how it can make a profound difference.From a Christian and biblical perspective, Just a Minute offers valuable insights into the importance of investing in the lives of children and how it aligns with God's heart for the vulnerable and marginalized. The book challenges readers to see children through God's eyes and to recognize their inherent worth and value as His beloved creation.One of the key takeaways from Just a Minute is the power of one-on-one interactions with children. Stafford shares numerous stories of how just a minute of intentional interaction with a child can have a lasting impact on their lives. He encourages readers to take the time to invest in the lives of children, whether it be through volunteering at a local school, mentoring a child in their church, or sponsoring a child through a ministry like Compassion International.Another important takeaway from the book is the need for Christians to live out their faith through action. Stafford contends that our faith should not just be a set of beliefs or a Sunday morning activity, but rather a way of life that is lived out in tangible ways. He encourages readers to follow Jesus' example of reaching out to the marginalized and vulnerable, and to make a difference in the lives of children in their communities and around the world.While Just a Minute is a powerful and inspiring book that offers valuable insights into the importance of investing in the lives of children, it is important to approach the book with a critical eye and filter its advice through the lens of Scripture. While Stafford's ideas are compelling, not all of them may align with biblical teachings. It is important to evaluate the advice in the book in light of God's Word and seek wisdom from other trusted sources.Overall, Just a Minute is a compelling call to action for Christians to invest in the lives of children and make a tangible difference in their communities and around the world. By seeing children through God's eyes, recognizing their inherent worth and value, and taking intentional steps to invest in their lives, we can live out our faith in practical ways and make a profound difference in the world.
