Praise for The Miracle Collectors:
Miracles happen. But why, where, how, and to whom? That’s a bit more mysterious. This lively, charming and inviting new book clears up some of those mysteries by exploring the fascinating stories of miracles that happen in real life. Open this book and have your faith strengthened, challenged, and, most of all, deepened in the God who makes all things possible.
· James Martin, SJ, NYT best selling author of Learning to Pray and The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything
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. Joan Luise Hill and Katie Mahon-beneficiaries of miracles in their own lives-have done a fantastic job of compiling and sharing these beautiful testimonies that remind us not only how God’s got our back, but he created us to have each other’s backs.
The hundreds of deeply personal testimonies of courage, faith, forgiveness and hope in this book will help open your eyes to unlikely angels and miraculous events-ones that can’t simply be chalked up to coincidence or luck. The Miracle Collectors will remind you how God is revealing himself all over the place through the gift of other people.
This wonderful book may very well be the miracle someone has been looking for.

· Lee Woodruff, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Perfect reading in a time of anxiety and isolation, when we need the bracing reminder that “miracles abound” when hope overcomes fear and love holds us together in an embrace neither disease nor death can pry loose.
The miracle chasers have paused in their quest to share some of the amazing treasure they have collected, and there are dazzling gems here! Tales of inexplicable healing; random acts of kindness; timely interventions by strangers who appear without summons and disappear, often without thanks, as if they were “earthly angels”; luminous moments of gratitude and forgiveness that transform lives; and acts of inspiring courage that will leave you agape with wonder and touched by joy.
The authors tell these stories with respect, aware that they are gifts entrusted to their care, and set them within their own wise reflections on their meaning. Throughout, they challenge us to become a miracle for someone else, to practice a generosity of spirit that “makes anything, perhaps it is everything, possible.”

In The Miracle Collectors, the reader realizes that – Ah-ha, so even I have a miraculous life! In a weary world, The Miracle Collectors causes ripples of wonder to spread across a parched land.
