The Miracle Collectors
UNCOVERING STORIES OF WONDER, JOY, AND MYSTERY
What if you had been given a miracle and didn’t know it? As part of their own spiritual quest, miracle experts, Joan Luise Hill and Katie Mahon, discovered when we are truly awake and present, miracles abound. What started by sharing their own stories, quickly prompted an unexpected outpouring of stories from others: stories that had never been told before, stories that didn’t seem to matter, and stories that had been long forgotten. While some defy explanation, others invite us to take a closer look, to discover common ground with each other, and to seek meaning in a whole new way. The stories of courage, forgiveness, gratitude, faith, hope, and love allow us to notice and appreciate the miracles that are available to each one of us, while opening us up to a part of the Divine mystery we can absorb and understand.
“By sharing the witness of others and waking us up to the beauty, love and -yes-supernatural power of the God who unifies us all, this book challenges us to collect miracles in our own lives.” - Jeannie Gaffigan, producer, writer, philanthropist, mother of five, and the NYT best selling author of When Life Gives You Pears.
The Miracle Chase
THREE WOMEN, THREE MIRACLES, and a TEN YEAR JOURNEY of DISCOVERY and FRIENDSHIP
“What would make three women set off in search of the Holy Grail? I hope you believe me when I tell you it was a miracle - three miracles, to be exact.” So begins the story of Joan, Katie, and Meb, who turn a simple friendship into a spiritual odyssey when one of them faces sudden tragedy. Over the course of a decade, the trio seeks out the views of philosophers, theologians, and scientists; delves into the traditions of the tribal and the great religious faiths; and examines their own personal experiences as well as those of the friends they meet along the way, all the while searching for meaning in the remarkable events they experienced.
“If you are seeking a sign to believe again, The Miracle Chase will open your eyes and heart to the wonder all around you.” Regina Brett, NY Times best-selling author, God Never Blinks: 50 Lessons for Life’s Little Detours.
