This is a compilation of very short inspirational stories, the last one made me cry in a good way.

[Jen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Warning, either skip the last story entirely or read it first to get it out of the way. It made me SO ANGRY and I saw no Christmas miracle in it, just a soon to be ex husband who was an @ss, as well as church members who should have been more Christ-like. Left a horrible taste in my mouth and I was ready to give this book one star, but the other stories were good to decent, so tempering my anger to 3 stars. Recommended, except for that last story. It’s a doozy!

Buku ini kurang lebih mirip Chicken Soup. Lumayan ajalah cerita²nya seputar ttg keajaiban Natal. Yg paling diingat adalah yg terkubur di tambang dan terselamatkan. Inspiratif sih bhw Tuhan bisa selalu menciptakan keajaiban bagi umatNya.

This book is a beautiful collection of Christmas miracles that range from miracle verse to the death of loved ones at Christmas.
All the stories mention some sort of angelic happening.
Even though the book ended with a sadder tale, it reminds you that even in the saddest of things, miracles can happen and to hold on and God has gotcha.

I am reading one story a night with my children during the advent season. The stories are sweet and uplifting. They have lead to several really nice conversations about God, angels and the Christmas spirit.

Such very touching stories of miracles people witnessed at Christmas, enjoyable from cover to cover.

This book is a blessing! It is a true Christmas Miracle! I was skeptical when I first picked up this book off of a 'free' bookshelf, two weeks after Christmas 2025. Christmas 2025 was very lonely, dark and sad for me. I remember being so hopeless, remorseful and sad at the time I saw this book, that I was like "Yeah right! A Christmas miracle?! Sure God! That sounds like a hokey-pokey load of BS to me!" I was really sad and bitter about my Christmas experience and I had pretty much given up on life. I wanted to leave the book there on the shelf but for some reason I started reading it and took the book with me. I kept reading it and it turned out to be just what I needed to hear, that I wasn't alone that God was there, even if he didn't answer my prayers of give me a joyous Christmas to celebrate. I could relate to so many of the stories and they reminded me of miracles that I had experienced in my life. This book was just what I needed right after Christmas 2025, a true Christmas Miracle.

The book is a recounting of individual stories about healing miracles that take place around the Christmas holiday. Some stories are very sad involving death and tragedy, while others are lighthearted with happy endings. The stories inspire faith and the true meaning of Christmas. This book is a message of hope and faith. I definitely recommend this book! It is a book I plan to keep and read again and again. A book you will want to pull off the shelf during the Christmas season to read your favorite inspiring stories. It is a great book to share with others how have experienced tragedy or loss of hope. It is a book you will want to share with your loved ones, relatives and friends. It is also a great resource in times of loss and dark sadness when all hope is lost, you will find hope in this book. This book is a guide to help keep you going one step at a time when you have lost all hope and to know that everything happens for a reason. This book can lead you to faith, hope and trust, even if you have never believed or do not believe in miracles. It is a testament to a hirer power, a presence that surrounds us all even if we cannot feel or see it. I believe these stories will speak to you to help you find light, faith and hope in a dark, sad, lonely world.

this is something that is needed. beautiful stories of Christmastime. I needed it greatly before the holiday. I got a copy from the author and this is my honest and voluntary review.

[Cathy Ouellette · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn’t like the format. Just too many stories to read cover to cover.

[Claudia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Several of these stories were amazing.

[Elizabeth Hudacko · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have had this book sitting on my book shelf for 12 years. Some how I just kept skipping over it. I am so glad I took the time to read this beautiful book in the season of miracles.

I loved the uplifting stories. It is nice to read a book filled with God's miracles and the people who lived them.

[Marcy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Many of these stories made me cry. A few were very odd to me. Most were very touching!

[Mandy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some stories were great and inspiring and some you were a little bit out there.

[Brad Engborg · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great book of inspirational short stories.

[Phyllis Barlow · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you like Chicken Soup for the Soul stories, you will enjoy this book. These have a Chrisian slant (which I like) and deal with miraculous things at Christmas. I enjoyed all the stories, but I almost wish they hadn't included the last story, it broke my heart.
After checking this author, I realize there's a whole series of these Miracle books. I plan to search them out.

[Catwall · Rating 5 out of 5]

true stories filled with the spirit that will touch your heart.

[Pat Tucker · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is a compilation of stories about miracles that took place at Christmas time. I marked six stories which I felt were incredible but believable and uplifting.

[Tracy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I started this book before Christmas but ran out of time. I was able to finish reading it today (Epiphany) which I think ties in nicely with the context of each story.

[Kim · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great bathroom book. The stories are short and of various Christmastime miracles. Well done!
