These stories were truly amazing! I read them in a collection of many of the author’s miracle stories, and they were among my favorite. I found them inspiring.

[Debby · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a wonderful book. The stories told here will delight your heart, inspire your spirit and bolster your faith. The stories may even cause you to pay closer attention to those thoughts and urgings that may come to your mind and heart to do things that are out of the ordinary and that you know did not originate with you.

Enjoy.

This is a fun book of short stories of real life miracles in the life’s of friends. Answered prayers, God’s provision. Very uplifting.,

[Judy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely loved this book! Real life stories always encourage us to go on. To know that we aren't the only ones in this world that struggle with things thrown our way... but in the end its God's miraculous power and perfect timing that comes through every time. Other stories always build my faith back up and keep me going when things aren't the way I exactly planned them. When life is so messy you wonder if it's every going to get any better. Thank you for writing such a heart warming book of encouragement!

The book I’ve read is entitled: A Treasury of Miracles True Stories of God’s presence Today. This title is one sub chapter of the book I read, as are others such as: Miracles for Women; Miracles for Friends; Adoption Miracles, Christmas Miracles and a Bonus Section - a section regarding Karen’s life’s Miracles.

I found the book published by Guidepost to be enlightening, enchanting, spiritual and refreshingly rewarding most especially in today’s dark news world.

All I can say is I’m sure God is listening and waiting for the right moment to give me what I’ve always asked for. Very recommended reading! As mentioned before, even more stronger the wanting to know god in a deeper level.

Woww!!! What a book. This book was such an amazing way to start the day and feel not only inspired but to hear of miracles that happen all around us.

This book made me start my day feeling good, feeling excited and ready to take on any challenges that were set ahead for the day.

I like Karen Kingsbury's concise style and compassion. I have read some other books she has written, and I shall probably read more.

This was not as heartwrenching as the previous book I read in this series but still touched by the miraculous stories.

Listened to A Treasury of Miracles for Friends: True Stories of Gods Presence Today by Karen Kingsbury. A heartwarming collection of true stories to remind readers that God is present in every friendship. Outside the family circle, no one is as important as a dear friend. A friend is there throughout the years, in good times and bad. And unlike family, friends are there because they want to be and not because they have to be. In book are stories about long-lost friends having miraculous reunions; conflicts in friendships that had wondrous resolutions; and life-saving situations where a friend shows up without reason at just at the right moment all demonstrating God's role in the healing power and the hope that comes with a true and steadfast companion. I give this book 5 stars and a 10. Amazing read and have a box of tissue ready, a real tearjerker. I loved it and want to hear it again!!!

This is a great collection of short stories about friendship. KK has written several examples of the types of friends we have in our lives, and the small but very powerful miracles they share with us.

One thing I realized is that friends really do come in different shapes and sizes. They are not just the ones who we most often hang out with. They can be strangers, "traditional-type" ones, long-lost ones, lovers, family, etc.

Definitely recommended!

It's not all about friendship, but at the same time it is. :)

These stories really made me think about how our actions today could be part of a miracle, to be seen later.

This is a nice collection of uplifting stories about friends coming to the rescue. I might even use one in an upcoming talk.

[Laura · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was by far my favorite in the Miracles books. Maybe because I am a friend and I related to it best. I loved it, though.

[Beth Mccallister · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a sweet book. Renewed my faith in mankind. I loved reading this. Each story was a new miracle that can only be explained by Gods presence. It's a quick read.
