ReaL Life Miracles by James Garlow and Keith Wall

Is God Still Doing Miracles Today? Absolutely!

These real-life, credible stories of miraculous experiences, gathered by the authors of Miracles Are for Real, reveal that God is still very active in the world. Each gripping story is sure to encourage and inspire, offering hope and a sense of wonder.

• When Steve rolled his car, he should have been killed. Why didn't he die that day?
• Caleb and Penny moved to a poor part of town to serve their community. But when one group of neighbors makes and sells drugs, will God's angels protect them?
• Bob's MS was getting progressively worse. Could God heal such a debilitating disease?


Whether you've experienced God's miracles or aren't sure if you believe in them, explore fascinating true stories like these and many more. You'll be in awe of God's power as you get a glimpse of how he personally cares for each of his children--including you.

My review:

    This is a really neat book. It has thirty-one chapters. The first thirty each contain one story each of something miraculous that happened to someone. The last chapter contains shorter stories of several other people. The book was an interesting, fascinating, and encouraging read. It is one thing to read about the miracles in the Bible, but its another to read about miracles that are happening today and in recent years. The authors did a terrific job of putting these stories together and relating them. I'd recommend this book to anyone, but especially if you need encouraged and reminded that God is still working miracles in our lifetime.
