Do you need a miracle? This book is full of stories of everyday miracles that happened to normal, everyday people. God is not just for Bible stories. He is alive and is the same today as He was 2000 years ago. Our goal is to help you so you can believe for yourself and step out in faith.

Why is it so hard to believe that God heals today? Was that for another time or was healing just for the Bible, Jesus and the disciples? If you've asked these questions, this book is for you. It's chock full of stories of everday healings that happened to a totally normal person. Unusual? Yes! Healing takes many different forms. We won't need healing when we get to heaven, so it must be for now, while we are still living on the earth. Right? Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, then there must be a way to learn how to access God's healing power for help now.

This book is written for every child or young person that is in crisis, for everyone that is in trouble and can't find help. Maybe there is no help available. Maybe you have no voice -- no power or control over your situation. Maybe you are crying out for help, but even the courts and lawyers don't seem to be able to help you. You might be sick or have a disease for which there is no cure. Whatever the situation or circumstance, this book is written to let you know that there are others who see and understand and are trying to help in whatever way they can. We will come along side you to help strengthen you, to encourage you, and to help lighten the load. We do see and hear your pain and are praying for resolution, strength and encouragement for you.

God's voice is not thunder and lightning. His Spirit, the Holy Spirit dwells inside each believer and speaks in a "still small voice." The Holy Spirit is the voice of God. This book will help you learn the guidelines for hearing and recognizing God's voice in your own life. Also you will learn how to avoid being tricked by the enemy (like Adam and Eve) into believing a twisted lie. There are guidelines for 'testing' the spirits -- to know which voice is speaking to you. It is also a process of getting to know the Holy Spirit and his voice. You can test each message to know if it's the Holy Spirit or not. It may take time, testing and experience to hear and know His voice, but this book is about all the extraordinary things that will happen as you begin to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in all your decisions.

Does your life seem to be stuck in the mud? Do you seem to be living life in a hog pen? Natural disasters, financial ruin, wrongful accusations, terminal illnesses-Why Do Bad Things Happen? It's the question of all humanity. Have you wondered where the power and protection of God is and whether or not your God could be behind these things? Did God cause the blind man to be born blind? Did God cause Job's turmoil? After being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2000 and being injured at work and needing neck surgery in 2009, the Lord revealed IFHOGG to author Jeff Beeson. The acronym stands for increased faith, humility, and obedience and God's glory, received and returned, and it's a set of principles Jeff has come to live by and wishes to share with you. What makes Christianity unique is Jesus, and Jesus modeled IFHOGG perfectly during his time on earth-through the good and the bad. God hopes for the same response from us-an increase in faith, obedience, and humility and a chance to receive God's glory and to return glory to God. His purpose for all bad situations-whether given or allowed by him-is to prepare us to witness, to serve, and to love God in a deeper way. Dive into Why Do Bad Things Happen? and discover how the principles of IFHOGG will enrich your life whether you are going through good or bad times.

This anthology of international scholarship offers new critical approaches to the study of the many manifestations of the paranormal in the Middle Ages. The guiding principle of the collection is to depart from symbolic or reductionist readings of the subject matter in favor of focusing on the paranormal as human experience and, essentially, on how these experiences are defined by the sources. The authors work with a variety of medieval Icelandic textual sources, including family sagas, legendary sagas, romances, poetry, hagiography and miracles, exploring the diversity of paranormal activity in the medieval North. This volume questions all previous definitions of the subject matter, most decisively the idea of saga realism, and opens up new avenues in saga research.

Part detective story and part courtroom drama—with a touch of the supernatural—The Third Miracle exposes, for the first time ever, the secret rituals and investigations the Catholic Church today undertakes in order to determine sainthood. On a raw January 2001 morning at a Catholic convent deep in the Indiana woods, a Baptist handyman named Phil McCord made an urgent plea to God. He was by no means a religious man but he was a desperate man. McCord’s right eye was a furious shade of red and had pulsed for months in the wake of cataract surgery. He had one shot at recovery: a risky procedure that would replace part of his diseased eye with healthy tissue from a corpse. Dreading the grisly operation, McCord stopped into the convent’s chapel and offered a prayer—a spontaneous and fumbling request of God: Can you help me get through this? He merely hoped for inner peace, but when McCord awoke the next day, his eye was better—suddenly and shockingly better. Without surgery. Without medicine. And no doctor could explain it. Many would argue that Mother Théodore Guérin, the long-deceased matriarchal founder of the convent, had “interceded” on McCord’s behalf. Was the healing of Phil McCord’s eye a miracle? That was a question that the Catholic Church and the pope himself would ultimately decide. As part of an ancient and little-known process, top Catholic officials would convene a confidential tribunal to examine the handyman’s healing, to verify whether his recovery defied the laws of nature. They would formally summon McCord, his doctors, coworkers, and family to a windowless basement room at the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. They would appoint two local priests to serve the roles of judge and prosecutor. And they would put this alleged miracle on trial, all in an effort to determine if Mother Théodore, whose cause for beatification and canonization dated back to 1909, should be named the eighth American saint. In The Third Miracle, journalist Bill Briggs meticulously chronicles the Church investigation into this mysterious healing and offers a unique window into the ritualistic world of the secretive Catholic saint-making process—one of the very foundations on which the Church is built. With exclusive access to the case and its players, Briggs gives readers a front-row seat inside the closed-door drama as doctors are grilled about the supernatural, priests doggedly hunt for soft spots in the claim, and McCord comes to terms with the metaphorical “third miracle”: his own reconciliation with the metaphysical. As the inquiry shifts from the American heartland to an awaiting jury at Vatican City in Rome, Briggs astutely probes our hunger for everyday miracles in an age of technology, the Catholic Church’s surprisingly active saint-making operation, and the eternal clash of faith and science.

Apologetic methodology has been the subject of intense debate in Reformed circles. This book argues that we can test Reformed apologetic methods for consistency using two linchpin theological topics: the doctrine of the resurrection and the doctrine of Scripture. Should apologetics move from establishing theism to the resurrection and then to Scripture? Or should theism, the resurrection, and the doctrine of Scripture be accepted on the testimony of the Holy Spirit as basic beliefs? Alternatively, do these doctrines need to be presupposed and incorporated into a transcendental defense of the faith? After analyzing classical apologetics, historical evidentialism, Reformed epistemology, and presuppositionalism for their apologetic cogency, Steven D. West contends that any method used by Reformed apologists should be able to argue successfully for a high view of Scripture, the source of the doctrine of the resurrection. The book will be useful to everyone interested in the relationship between theology, philosophy, and apologetics.
