"God makes the impossible possible every day."--from the foreword by Don Piper, bestselling author of 90 Minutes in Heaven
God still is in the business of miracles.
God is big enough to rescue us from heartache and circumstances beyond our control. He doesn’t always do so, but for a variety of reasons. Maybe we didn’t ask, believing. Maybe receiving it would bring more harm than good. Or maybe, the answer is wait.
But when we want to ask God for the impossible, Linda Evans Shepherd shows us how to reach out to God and ask, believing. She shows how God’s answers are not always delivered in neatly wrapped packages, sometimes they are not at all what we expect! But she also shows us how they will transform our lives.
Linda Evans Shepherd uses solid biblical teaching and dramatic real-life stories, starting with the basics of making sure you are a child of God.
The book includes prayers to pray and scripture to quote out loud, and is great for helping those who don’t know how to begin get started – or as a guide-line for your personalized prayer.
WHEN YOU NEED A MIRACLE is not a book to read if you are looking for God to be a magician and magically hand you whatever you ask for. It is sound biblically and will help even a sometimes or hesitant pray-er become someone who can boldly approach the throne of God. And believing, whatever His answer is. Highly recommended. $12.99. 205 pages.
I think it's so easy to forget that God is still in the business of miracles. Those miracles come about through relationship with Him and prayer. Not that God is a genie in the sky, no, but through learning how to align our thoughts and prayer life with the One who makes all things work together for His people for His purpose. Excellent book for people wanting to learn how to pray and connect with God.
