Note: There is a giveaway for this book at the end of the review. Five people will win a copy of Miracles, by Karen Kingsbury.
In the last few years, Karen has written a series of books about real true life miracles. A Treasury of Miracles for Women, A Treasury of Miracles for Teens, Treasury of Miracles for Friends, A Treasury of Christmas Miracles, A Treasury of Adoption Miracles, and A Treasury of Miracles for Friends. This devotional is stories from those books along with Scripture readings set up for a weekly devotional.
Whether you are young or old, male or female, I recommend this book. It is full of encouraging and true stories of God working in miraculous ways in the lives of people.
Read about how a phone call from a long-lost friend saved a man's life. How a little boy miraculously avoided serious injury after being hit by a car. How couples miraculously found the right child, or children, to fill their empty homes.
Since I have the book to review, I did not use it as a devotional, but read through several of the stories at a time. I found myself moved to tears and encouraged tremendously by these stories. Karen Kingsbury has made her imprint on the Christian fiction market, and if you have never read her fiction books, I very much recommend doing so, but she has taken her God-given talent of relating a story to tug at your heart strings, and used it to relate these true stories. Stories of modern-day miracles that will cause you to dare to hope again if you have quit, and encourage any one who reads it that yes, God does care about us, and He can - and will - perform miracles today.
