Summary

This treasury of all-new true miracle stories from the bestselling authors of "Christmas Miracles, The Magic of Christmas Miracles, "and "Mothers' Miracles" offers the real-life wonder their readers have come to love. Some highlights: A disk jockey's selection of music has an astounding unintended effect a comatose Polish woman begins to softly sing along with a song from her childhood.While bodysurfing, a man is slammed by a wave and hears his neck snap. Unable to move, he begins to swallow water to hasten death. Instead, he feels himself lifted from the water, gliding safely to shore. A school janitor befriends a student, only to learn that she is the daughter of his long-lost son and his very own granddaughter. "A Gift of Miracles," like its predecessors, will remind readers and their families that in the midst of our hectic and sometimes frightening world, magic, mystery, and miracles happen. And that if we look hard enough in the corners of our own lives, we, too, can find miracles.
