I believe our first response to life’s challenges and situations is our heart response. What we trust with all our heart and believe by faith, flows from our heart to our mouth and into our actions. Who we are in our heart comes out when faced with split-second decisions.
Our Faith Is Not Silent.
“…the life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Galatians 2:20 NIV

Just a MOMENT
CHANGES LIFE FOREVER
As we reflect back on our life, we realize how just a moment can change life forever. A young girl challenged with dyslexia finds a key which allows her to travel on a historic journey with a girl born almost two hundred years ago. She discovers her dreams and challenges parallel those of the friends she will never meet but will personally know by the thoughts and prayers written on the faded pages of a diary. Climb up on the covered wagon of the Catts/Crawford family and take an amazing journey west as an American pioneer. Celebrate and learn from the moments that changed the life of this young girl forever. Be thankful for the humble story she left behind to encourage a new generation who will encounter may of the same trials in life.
As you turn the pages of this beautifully written historical novel, prepare to fall in love with people you will never meet but soon will feel like family. Reading “Just a Moment”, I felt as if I had entered a time machine, living in an America of purity, morality, hardship, and resolve, now sadly long forgotten. All these beautiful attributes of a now divided America might have perished had it not been for the Antiques Roadshow style “barn discovery” of a diary and letters about the Catts/Crawford family. It made me want to bury my computer and lick a stamp on a letter to those I love. Billie Fulton will long be remembered for this great timeless literary work.

What Readers Are Saying
Faith is Not SILENT
Once I started this book, I couldn’t put it down. I enjoyed the way the author incorporated historical information into the personal stories of the Catts/Crawford families. This book reminded me of our Godly heritage and the people that helped build our country. Excellent Read!

Once you start reading you won’t be able to put it down! The author does a beautiful job of drawing you in with the story of a boy and his grandparents on a family farm. Once treasures were found – the story line goes back in history to tell the story of the Catts and Crawford families. I laughed out loud and I cried. This story has all the feel goods. An amazing story of the families and their faith, laced deep with the traditions of those you grow to love. Had the grandson not asked, “Who were these people buried on the family farm?” their stories would have never unfolded. Faith Is Not Silent is beautifully illustrated and heartwarming.
– C. L.
The scope of this book encompassing the whole of our country’s history was fascinating. A story so well done that I could picture my ancestors traveling the same paths and enduring the same events. You made the past live again with us inside the hearts and minds as they struggled and endured. Your book honors not only the Catts/Crawford pioneers, but all the ancestors who birthed this country, holding true to their Christian faith and our Republic’s stated values. The trajectory of this family’s “Westward Expansion” was delineated so perfectly in your research that it was mesmerizing.

This book, along with the companion sequel: Just a Moment combine to share the same family story from the viewpoints of two very strong women. Based on the discovery of an old family cemetery on her family farm, the author combines extensive research with interesting facts and creative thought to create a memorable, eye-opening reading experience of this time in history when the west was being settled and our country faced civil war.

I love this book! It is so entertaining. The characters are so well developed. It is extremely easy to get inter-twined and wrapped up with this family. Grab a hot cup of coffee and you will soon realize it is hard to put Just A Moment down. You want to know everything about each character and how they fit into the timeline of American history. Might there be another book coming?
