Miracles in an Ordinary Life

A true story, this inspirational work show the profound love that God has for His children. The author is a normal American woman who had had the same challenges and worries of millions of women the world over. Yet she so believes in the idea that prayer is answered that she prays with confidence for each concern. Her life has become a recurring example of just how compassionate the Lord is to all of us, helping through cancer, ADHD, financial woes, and grave disappointments.

This inspirational book will encourage you to look into your own life to find the little (and not so little) miracles there. What is proved is the incredible goodness of God. So often we face challenges, pray, and then when the problem is solved, we say: "Wow, what a coincidence!" And perhaps it is. Or maybe it might be what so many have said: "There are no coincidences with God; there are only the miracles He does anonymously." Hughes would say that two or three of these "coincidences" can prove nothing, but when she looks at her whole life, fifteen incidents convince her that miracles exist. It is those moments of God's love that she offers in sympathy for those who are fearful and hurting in these troubling times of natural disasters, financial upheaval, and widespread unemployment.
