Inspiring and encouraging. I thoroughly enjoyed this Chicken Soup title. I love the unexplainable, and this book had excellent stories of miracles and mysterious happenings.
I recently re-discovered my love for the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. I immensely enjoyed reading these stories which brought much joy and peace to my heart.
I may be a little impartial because my story, written by my friend Amanda Flinn is #68. While my own story uplifted me during a difficult time, I also found that reading through the entire book of other's people's stories of miracles and divine intervention to be incredibly healing. I recommend this for anyone, but it may especially be helpful for those that are walking through grief.
Read this because I needed to give it a rating for something else. Most of the stories in the first section just felt like promos for the author/singer/whatever their career was—just trying to get their Name out there. So most of the stories felt fake or forced. Just didn’t enjoy the majority of them.
