Gifts: True Stories of God's Love

by Larry Barkdull

A gift, by definition, cannot be earned. It is a pure and voluntary offering of love. Best selling author Larry Barkdull declares, "Imbedded within each gift, each miracle from God, is something of his character. Miracles teach us that God is aware of us, that he has the power to help, and that he loves us completely." Gifts is a collection of real life stories meant to provide hope, anchor faith, and demonstrate that prayers are heard. These stories acquaint us with the characteristics of the Giver, someone who knows us, who has the ability to rescue us, and who loves us enough to shower us with his gifts.

I loved the miraculous stories of God and his love.
I loved remembering my own journey and feeling of Gods love.
I know that God loves all of His children.
It is easy to overlook and forget the miracles I have experienced.
I hope that reading this book will help me to remember to call upon the powers of heaven.
God hears and listens.
