#1 New York Times Bestseller

#1 Publishers Weekly Bestseller

From Fox News Senior Medical Analyst and Clinical Professor of Medicine at NYU Langone Health, Dr. Marc Siegel, comes a collection of powerful, true-life stories of healing, faith, and surprise, complete with a beautiful prayer guide inside.

Almost everything a doctor sees can be explained scientifically. Almost.
Drawing from his extensive experience as a physician, Dr. Marc Siegel explores the profound and often mysterious intersection between faith and medicine. He shares riveting stories of patients who have experienced remarkable recoveries, challenging the boundaries of medical science. These narratives highlight not only the resilience of the human body, but also the inexplicable moments when intuition and foresight play a crucial role in healing.
Doctors see more than just patients who are cured against all odds.
From a rabbi who somehow knew a carpenter's infant son had a heart problem, to an NFL player's amazing survival from a rare kind of cardiac arrest, these stories bolster the belief there is a higher power at work.
The Miracles Among Us reminds us that God’s love has the capacity to surprise us even in our darkest moments. Whether you are a healthcare professional, a patient, or simply someone intrigued by the mysteries of medicine, this book provides an enlightening exploration of how miracles manifest in everyday life.

2.5 really. The book wasn't what I was expecting. The stories were good, some pretty amazing, but the writing was abysmal. It was pretty disjointed and EVERYTHING was written in the present tense. No mention of Jesus in the book

[Darlene Corbett · Rating 5 out of 5]

For some reason, Goodreads prevents me from listing it under Audible. But I did listen to it there. No matter, a fabulous reminder by a warm and caring physician that faith and science can mix. One doesn't have to extinguish the other. I highly recommend this read. Hope and unexplained healing stream through it. Yes, miracles do exist.

Meh. Written for 4th grade reading level

[McKenzie Crockett · Rating 1 out of 5]

I only made it about 20% of the way through this book before I unfortunately decided to stop. If nothing else, this book is interesting and maybe encouraging if you’re going through a health issue, but it didn’t necessarily feel scriptural to me and it isn’t what I was expecting.

I would have loved to see more scriptures or examples of miracles from the actual Bible along with the stories Dr. Siegel has seen in his years of medicine. Not to say that these stories aren’t true or that they can’t stand alone as evidence that we serve a powerful God, but it was feeling like a rattling off of unexplained medical stories and was almost lacking some more substance.

I did not love the way this was written and while I’m sure Dr. Siegel hasn’t studied writing or anything, I was sort of surprised at the way this at times was reading as… unprofessional? “After the MRI, they are sitting there waiting, and…” It very often seemed like a person telling their friend a story. It was authentic in that way, but not necessarily my cup of tea in a nonfiction book.

Lastly, if you’re not already a believer, I don’t know that this is spreading a totally true picture of God. Some of the language used can be tricky. An example is this - “God performs the miracles he wants, not necessarily the ones you are asking him to do.” - while I agree to this to an extent and believe that sometimes what we need doesn’t always look like what we think it will, I would struggle with some of these statements if I was reading this without knowing what I know about God. He also mentioned about how God essentially repays our kindness with miracles, but miracles aren’t limited to ‘good or kind people.’ I guess I feel that statements like these can be misleading of His character and makes it seem as if He isn’t a God who listens to us or wants to give us the desires of our hearts.

Whether or not a reader is religious, Dr. Siegel presents an interesting variety of detailed accounts of healing and recovery. As a person of faith, I found the stories of people holding various religious views truly miraculous.

[Linda C · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you don't already believe in miracles and the power of prayer, this book will probably not convince you. Unexplained doesn't necessarilly mean miraculous. If you do believe in those things, there are some incredible stories here that will reinforce your beliefs. Not great writing, but worth a read. There is one chapter that is repetitive, almost as if two different drafts were merged into the chapter.

I do admire Dr. Seigel for his medical expertise and his willingness to share his knowledge in layman's terms on various platforms. I also admire his willingness to help people. I think he is a genuinely good person. As he points out many times in the book, many of these miracles wouldn't have happened without the dedication and skill of doctors and other medical personnel. What he doesn't specifically discuss is that the connections and resources available to the friends and families of the victims of accidents, disease, and war also played a large part in them getting the best of care.

So, miracles? It depends on your point of view. Mine is that they exist.

The Miracles Among Us chronicles some extraordinary medical outcomes and in most cases leaves it to the reader to ascribe how much divine versus human intervention versus combination thereof achieved the results. The most powerful accounts for me were those without medical explanations, and it provided a most moving account of a surgeon without traditional surgical training operating successfully on thousands of patients each year in war-torn Sudan - A modern day Albert Schweitzer.

I was somewhat disappointed in the increasing attention as the book progressives to extraordinary feats of physicians versus otherwise inexplicable miraculous healings, which I believe are more prevalent than the book credits. In fact, it doesn't mention as much as it should of the Judaic and Christian teachings in the Bible regarding healings - i.e., Lazarus' being raised from the dead or lepers being healed. There were no physicians to credit for those extraordinary interventions and none for many healed by prayer, at shrines, at faith-infused congregations and by medical missionaries who use their skills but rely on God for miracles every day...

I heard an interview with Dr. Siegel and was very interested in reading this book. So often I've read about medical miracles that include out-of-body-experiences, and doctors feeling as though they are being guided by an unseen entity. Those stories always intrigue me, but this book doesn't go in that direction. Instead, Dr. Siegel tells how medicine, whether through training or some other manner is miraculous in saving people who should not have survived. He shares how circumstances fall into place that should not have happened, except through divine intervention. Two doctors watching a procedure on YouTube in a remote area when the Wi-Fi was iffy at best, a first responder being guided by a voice to find a young boy, and others. Dr. Siegel does bring prayer and spiritual belief into the book with a number of stories. He makes it clear he believes it's a combination of medical procedures and a strong belief in God's intervention that have saved these people. I would recommend this book to those interested in another way God shows His presence.

I saw this book on Fox News, with the author speaking about it. We have come to know the author, Dr Marc Siegel over the years with his often commentary on Fox. This brought me to want to read this book. His chapters are all a particular patient, accident or sickness that he describes. He feels strongly that there is Devine intervention in many cases, where people recover from the impossible. Very interesting stories. Some we have heard, some we have not.
His message is that there is a “higher power” out there that helps in situations. Not everything can be explained in a rational way. Some call it”luck.” Dr Siegel calls it “faith.”
This book had some dry parts to it, for me. But a very interesting read. I agree with him, you must have faith in this life.

[William Drehmel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Vignettes of people who were ill, injured in various ways and one in Ethiopia with a heart problem. They were all helped in spite of seemingly insurmountable odds. Sometimes in little miracles, sometimes big unexplainable miracle. He mentions situations for Jewish and Christian people. I can't recall if there was a Muslim involvement in the book. Lots of medical problems which as a retired family practice doctor, I had no problems. Overall interesting stories.

[Maureta Bohon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dr Siegel wrote on different cases where the injuries/ diseases were overcome by the skill of doctors (God given), and prayer. Some cases had the right timing, the right doctor and some cases survival seemed to be a matter of luck. But, was it really luck or possibly God having another plan. Medical developments have continued to increase throughout the ages, education and understanding of the working of the human body has increased. But that’s not to say that prayer is not important.

[Susan Gevaert · Rating 3 out of 5]

The content of this book gets 5 stars, it is wonderful, inspiring and non-denominational. However I can’t get used to his use of the present tense throughout. It is very confusing and I often have to reread sentences to figure out the meaning. I’m sure it was done for a reason, but I can’t imagine what that reason was. If you can get past that (pun intended), I highly recommend this book for all!

[Francis Szarejko · Rating 5 out of 5]

A doctor takes us on a journey of some of the most hopeless cases any doctor can encounter and demonstrates how real miracles are happening all around us. Read this book. If you have a relationship with God, it will bolster your faith. If you don't care about God, you might just find yourself wanting to know more about Him.

[Liz Sergent · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a pretty good book about real life accounts of miracles that occurred among us. I didn't know that Bret Baiers son was diagnosed with a heart condition at birth. Stories also included the football player who suddenly collapsed at a NFL game. Siegel also covers the shooting of Steve Scalise and how he survived that horrible day. I enjoyed this first book of the new year.

[Kristin Ennuso · Rating 3 out of 5]

The medical miracles were fascinating and I enjoyed learning more about Lourdes. Quick read due to the various stories the author tells throughout. I appreciated that the author incorporated both scientific and religious perspectives. There is a useful section that includes several healing prayers, which I will put to good use.

[Carolyn Sweet · Rating 5 out of 5]

Many touching stories showing how faith and medicine often work together. Most of the stories weren't of instantaneous miracles but instead how a series of events can still be miraculous. Lots of medical terminology.

[Andy Febrico Bintoro · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book argues that God’s presence is real whether the patient or doctor recognizes it or not. Several of the stories are from big names. This is not a heavy read but a compilation of 16 short stories about healing miracles.

[Sherrill Warmack · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was awesome. At the end of each chapter, I had to stop and think about the miracle. I usually waited 30 minutes to an hour before I started a new chapter. This book was very thought provoking. I enjoyed it a lot!

[Cindy Huff · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love the premise of this book, with interesting, well researched stories. Dr Siegel’s medical background provides a great foundation for the stories. It was interesting to see how different faiths define miracles. And to see how God and the medical field work hand in hand.

[Dave · Rating 3 out of 5]

There are some great stories in those books about how prayer can assist patients in recovering from extreme injures and debilitating diseases. There was a fair amount of repetitive statements in chapters, but overall this is a good book.

[Megan D · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found this book to be inspiring and enjoyed the stories from such a wide variety of places and people. God was shown by both Jews and Christians alike; however my one complaint is that because the author is Jewish, he doesn’t mention Jesus.

[Elaine · Rating 3 out of 5]

The stories of various medical cases are amazing, as are the people involved. I found it a little difficult to read because of the repetition and the structure of the sentences.

[Elaine Sorsby · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really wanted to give this book a 3.5, but that’s not an option. Very interesting stories, but Dr. Siegel is not a writer. I enjoyed the book, and you probably will, too, but really a 3.5.

[Jackie · Rating 5 out of 5]

After each chapter I had to close the book and reflect. Recommended this book to many friends and coworkers!
