PRAISE FOR AMAZING MODERN-DAY MIRACLES
Amazing Modern-Day Miracles is an inspiring collection of true stories that will touch your heart and deepen your faith. Every page is a powerful reminder that we are surrounded by the miracles of answered prayer.
Alice Gray, speaker, author, creator, and compiler of the award-winning book series Stories for the Heart
In a culture filled with skepticism and surplus, Amazing Modern-Day Miracles is a poignant reminder that the Lord is still working in miraculous ways to bring healing and redemption. I can t wait to share these stories with my children so they can see the mighty power of prayer!
JJ Heller, singer, songwriter
Prayer is amazing! Yet we so easily forget its power and influence. Amazing Modern-Day Miracles reminds us of God s miraculous interventions in our everyday life. It also challenges us to go to Him more often. These stories will change your life. You will find yourself reflecting on them and sharing them with others long after you ve put the book down. I can t wait to read the sequel.
Steve Stephens, PhD, author, professor, psychologist
For a healthy dose of faith, inspiration, and a renewed yearning to pray more read this book!
Doug Batchelor, president/speaker, Amazing Facts
These honest, real-life stories of God s love and power intersecting lives enlarged my faith and inspired me to believe God for more. Amazing Modern-Day Miracles is marvelous!
John C. Ogle, vice president of development, Luis Palau Association
Compelling, believable, refreshing! Along with the thrill of each slice of time when God intervened, the sheer literary finesse of the compiler was most refreshing!
Herbert Edgar Douglass, ThD
Reading these amazing stories is like drinking a tall, cool glass of hope. Each story increased my level of faith into believing that more of the impossible and miraculous will happen. The joy-filled endings pointed me to a loving Father and a Savior whose resurrected power still operates today.
Dee Howell, intercessor/author, Adivineexchange.org
There is nothing more powerful than prayer, and Amazing Modern-Day Miracles has dozens of personal, life-changing examples confirming this truth. I plan to give a copy to all of our prayer leaders at the Hollywood Prayer Network. The more we hear about others answered prayers, the more our faith will grow!
Karen Covell, producer, founding director, the Hollywood Prayer Network, www.hollywoodprayernetwork.org
This book will encourage and inspire you to persevere in prayer, as story after story gives testimony of God s mighty hand in the lives of those who call on His name.
Mary-Alice DeBoer, director of Women s Ministries, Hinson Church
This book vividly reminded me that throughout my everyday life I am bathed in the miraculous presence of God Almighty. By reading (and rereading) these stories, I am joyously drawn into the light of God and His undergirding support. Everyone who reads this collection will celebrate God s wonder and loving care.
Deborah A. Peterson, MS, grant writing consultant
Wow! Christ-followers know He answers prayer, but to relive so many examples stirs it out of the head into the heart. After each story I wanted to shout, It s true! It s true! May reading these answered prayers encourage you to take a step of faith and let Him answer yours.
Ted Noble, president (ret.), Greater Europe Mission; US chairperson, Africa Inland Mission
Story after story, this book sent chills down my spine and gave me a sense of urgency to get down on my knees and pray. You will feel inspired and will not want to put this book down.
Wendy Carter, national account executive
From a child praying for a horse to a man helping a child with hypothermia to a woman bringing split-pea soup to a neighbor with cancer, these real-life stories draw you in and make you smile. Every heart-grabbing narrative reminds you that God is the center and peace of our everyday world if we d only let Him be.
Cornelia Becker Seigneur, author, Writer Mom Tales and Images of America: West Linn ; founder of the Faith and Culture Writers Conference
Amazing Modern-Day Miracles is a tremendous blessing of a book. The short stories are powerful testimonials, and God stirred my heart with inspiration as I read them-of how He works through each of us.
Sandy Liarakos, fundraising executive, Cancer Center
This is a powerful book of testimonies. I was inspired by the persistence and growing faith of those who prayed for years before seeing answers. You will find yourself pondering and remembering the stories of how God answered those who prayed, and even how He pursued those who did not.
