Miracles



Eric Metaxas wrote a book titled Miracles that I recommend everyone read. Eric is the author of the book Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy, but you may recognize him for titles like God Made You Special, The Pirates Who (Usually) Don’t Do Anything, and Jonah, Even Fish Slappers Need a Second Chance, all written for the VeggieTales series.

The subtitle for Miracles is “What they are, why they happen, and how they can change your life.” The author explains this by dividing the book into two parts: The Question of Miracles, and The Miracles Stories.

In part one, Metaxas describes miracles as God reaching into our lives and making supernatural changes. He explains the incredible science that supports life on Earth making it very difficult to believe that life, as we understand it, could possibly exist anywhere else. He then describes a few of the miracles in the Bible from a practical perspective.

In part two, the author shares first hand accounts of miracles in the lives of people he knows well. The stories are credible and very encouraging. He leaves no doubt that God is very active in our lives each and every day, and that miracles do happen.
