Summary

Miracle on Hope Hill is a collection of true, inspiring stories that show God’s love and affirmation intervening in the lives of ordinary people. It includes stories of romance, heartache, tragedy, and celebration, but all with the common thread of "God moments" that show his love, intervention, and blessing.

Every now and then such moments are so spectacular that we can’t miss them. But far more often we don't notice them, calling our experience a stroke of good luck or taking credit for the unexpected blessing as simply “our due.” But when we truly consider these events, we discover how ever-present God is, and we begin to recognize ways in which God is affirming, leading, and demonstrating his love for us.

At times, his touch comforts us when we are hurting. It may come quietly, unexpectedly, or from the hand of someone he has moved to meet our need. Other times, we may be so consumed with despair that we assume God has abandoned us. But he has not. His love is shown to us in subtle ways that we sometimes miss because we are so caught up in the complexity or misery of our circumstances.

Carol and Jennie have both contributed over the years to successful collections of stories published by Honor, Zondervan, NavPress, and others. For the first time they are collaborating, two sisters telling stories that uplift, encourage, and inspire.
