The book was released today on 9/13 and I bought it right away after listening to the author speak about it on Coast To Coast With George Norey. Just finished it. It was reminiscent of the stories one would find in the Chicken Soup For The Soul books. Very uplifting and really made me think!
While I usually don't read medical type books and stopped reading "miracle" books years ago, I made an exception for this one; due to the wide range of stories, as well as the number of physicians involved. These were truly interesting stories, but be forewarned there may be more medical talk than many readers will wish to read; specifically readers of the miracle books usually listed under the spirituality and religion categories. That was to be expected, though, considering the doctors needed to provide medical proof that the cases they were talking about were truly "miraculous", as far as scientifically trained physicians were concerned. In addition, some of the cases involving children were hard to read, because of the extent of their injuries or illnesses. Thus, if you're not looking for a typical "feel good" miracle book, but one with a stronger bite, do read this one. All proceeds from it go to various charity groups, too.(Note: I received a free e-copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.)
If you need a dose of beauty, hope and and encouragement, you’ll find it in this collection of essays from doctors on medical miracles--things they’ve seen while practicing for which they have no explanation, or only an extraordinary one. It’s a happy tears book (and all proceeds go to charity) edited by the author of another book I loved, 940 Saturdays, Family Activities & a Keepsake Journal.
I was disappointed as I expected to read stories about supernatural events, it lacks much of that. Gives nice stories of people and children either passing on beautifully or recovering from long illnesses. Perhaps I am premature as I have not had the opportunity to read all stories as yet. A miracle is something outside of natural healings after lengthy recoveries. It is based on actual outcomes.
