What constitutes a miracle? It depends on who one asks. Nearly everyone will agree that a miracle is an extraordinary event in the physical world that defies a rational explanation. While we might think miracles don't happen today, perhaps they do.
A recent story from the town of Galt in Sacramento County entitled 'Freeway Miracle?' is an astounding story of an injured dog that survived 5 weeks with 2 broken bones. How the dog survived is anybody's guess. Surviving without food or water for 5 weeks is more than likely physically impossible. Yet the dog, nicknamed 'Freeway Frida' did just that. The dog was subsequently rescued, was treated for the injuries and is now on the adoption list. Many people believe it is a bona fide miracle. It very well may be.
The public is fascinated with miracles, as they demonstrate there is a reality that lies beyond what our eyes and ears show us. While we might believe that miracles are the result of a Power that lies elsewhere and occasionally intercedes in the affairs of the human race, it is even more possible that this Power works in physical reality through the minds and the hands of mankind. Even the miracles of Jesus were performed through a human body, living in physical reality.
Miracles demonstrate that there is something that lies beyond our senses that has our best interests at heart. There is much comfort in that.
Donna Louis' new book, 'Miracles of Direction, Miracles of Conquest, Miracles of Provision and Miracles of Purpose' explores biblical miracles that took place while Jesus was here on earth. She then references with miracles that take place on a daily basis in the modern world. She separates these miracles into four categories and presents insightful example of each type, taken directly from the Bible.
Louis knows her subject well, as she has personally experienced three miracles. As the result of those life-altering experiences, she began an in-depth study of some of Christianity's most well-documented miracles. In her book, she attempts to expand upon and explain both the purpose and the direction of those miracles.
"Miracles are acts of God that proclaim his sovereign power over creation as well as his commitment to the good of his people," Louis stated. "Miracles don't happen when there is smooth sailing in your life. Miracles happen when all hell is breaking loose because that is when they are needed. When they happen they provide comfort, strength, and enhance a persons belief in God. It is like petting or stroking a dog, it lowers your blood pressure and emanates calm."
Louis was chosen as a winner in the 2015 '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' awards contest. 'Miracles' has also received rave reviews from readers. One review called it "amazing, uplifting and inspirational". Another stated, "I was profoundly impressed by the writing."
