The Power of Miracles: Stories of God in the Everyday
"What an awesome time to be alive and to see how God can turn difficulties into shining moments of hope and glory!
As Joan Wester Anderson's beloved angel books so movingly testify, a great proliferation of miracles has blessed many people in our time. Today, with the millennium only a heartbeat away, accounts of people who have been touched by the hand of God or one of God's angels are more abundant than ever before.
In this book Anderson has gathered the most glorious and remarkable of these accounts--stories of mysterious rescue, celestial visions, unexpected healings, inexplicable protection, and many other signs and wonders. Mysterious forces save a mountain climber lost in a blizzard. In God's service, an illiterate carpenter finds himself able to read. A band of angels saves a little girl from her violent father. An eloquent preacher, his vocal chords rendered useless by scar tissue, suddenly--in the presence of a large congregation--regains his full voice.
Dozens of wonderful, true stories of God's presence in our lives light up these pages, shedding blessings of comfort and renewed faith on everyone who reads them.

Another fascinating book about angels and not only. Ideal reading for busy and overworked people who want to get away from everyday life; divided into very short stories - you can read one a day. Each story starts with a quote, as in all the books that have appeared in this series. Stories relate to miraculous healings, salvation from destruction in difficult weather conditions and dangerous situations, seeing invisible things, children's ability to communicate with the souls of the dead, but above all they teach a different view of reality and give explanation for situations that seem unlikely: "Coincidence is God's way to remain anonymous.
