The main portion of the book consists of 30 real life stories showing how God showed up in each person’s life. Topics include car wrecks, health issues, safety concerns, etc. Many of the stories can only be explained as a miracle. For example, going up to the front of the church for prayer and being healed of a disease immediately.
While I do believe that miracles do and can happen myself, I found myself not being engaged in the stories. I think it was because I felt like I was being told a story instead of reliving it through the author’s eyes. I believe that if the stories were told in first person, a great connection with the audience would be found. I can see that the book touched several people through the other reviewers. If a story touches another person, then the book is worth a read.
I, myself, had trouble believing a couple of the stories. I was not present so I’d assume that the stories are real. They did seem to be a bit longer. Each story was around eight or nine pages. I think the stories would have had a greater impact if they were condensed and told in the first person point of view.
With all that being said, God is present in our lives and does perform miracles and sometimes they are labeled as coincidences. Keep your eyes open and you will see miracles in your daily life if you keep focused on Him.
I received this book free from Bethany House Publishers and the opinions are completely my own.
