There are miracles all around us all the time, says Mark Batterson, but you wont see them if you dont know how to look for them.
Now the bestselling author of The Circle Maker reveals the incredible power of the seven miraculous signs of Jesus found in the Gospel of John. Batterson shows how they were not simply something Jesus did in the past, but something he wants to do now, in the present. He shares true stories of people today who are experiencing miracles in their lives. And he brings to light countless miracles, big and small, that we take for granted every day that point us toward the One who healed the sick, calmed the storm, and yes, even raised the dead.
But this is more than a book about miracles. Its a book about the only One who can perform them. Batterson cautions readers, Dont just seek miracles. Seek Jesus. And if you seek Jesus, miracles will find you.
Nothing has changed since Jesus called Lazarus out of his tomb four days after his funeral. Our impossible situations still double as Gods greatest opportunity to reveal his glory. No matter how big the problem is, God is bigger still. Anyone who longs to see God work in miraculous ways today will love Battersons faith-building, life-giving message

In his fresh, engaging manner, Mark Batterson invites us to revisit the messages and miracles of Christ. I am privileged to know Mark and the wonderful people he serves at National Community Church in Washington, DC. I am thankful for him, for them, and now for this wonderful book. Our Christian convictions are only as valid as Christ Himself. Mark reminds us that faith in Jesus is worth the risk.
Max Lucado , pastor and bestselling author
Mark Batterson shows us how to open our eyes to the miraculous and, in doing so, truly see that the One who walked on water and raised people from the dead is still working miracles today.
Pastor Rick Warren , founding pastor of Saddleback Church and founder of the P.E.A.C.E. Plan initiative
If Mark Batterson cant convince you that our God still performs miracles, I doubt anyone could. This book is bound to stoke the fire of your faith, even if all you have left are a few weak embers.
Roma Downey and Mark Burnett , executive producers of The Bible miniseries and Son of God
Dedicated to the Grave Robber and to those who will discover Him for the first time in the pages of this book

No one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.
John 3:2
The Day Water Blushed
F OR NEARLY THIRTY years, the One who had crafted the universe with His voice crafted furniture with His hands. And He was good at what He didno crooked table legs ever came out of the carpenters shop in Nazareth. But Jesus was more than a master carpenter. He was also God incognito. His miraculous powers rank as historys best-kept secret for nearly three decades, but all that changed the day water blushed in the face of its Creator.
That was the day the woodbender became a waterbender. Jesus manipulated the molecular structure of water and turned it into wine757 bottles, no less. And nothing but the best. This wasnt just wine, it was fine wine.
Sometimes God shows up. Sometimes God shows off.
Thats what Jesus did on the third day of a wedding feast in Cana, and that was just the beginning. Thirty-four distinct miracles are recorded in the Gospels, while countless more went unrecorded. Johns Gospel spotlights seven miracles, unveiling seven dimensions of Jesus miraculous power. Like the sun rising in the east, each miracle reveals another ray of Gods glory until Lazarus steps out of the shadow of his tomb and into the light of the Grave Robber.
The seven miracles are seven signs, and each sign points straight to Jesus. You may be reading this book because you need a miracle. Dont we all at some point in our lives? And God wants to do now what He did then . But this is more than a course in miracles. Its a book about the only One who can perform them. So let me offer a word of caution at the outset:
Dont seek miracles.
Follow Jesus.
And if you follow Jesus long enough and far enough, youll eventually find yourself in the middle of some miracles.
Everyone wants a miracle. But heres the catch: no one wants to be in a situation that necessitates one! Of course, you cant have one without the other.
The prerequisite for a miracle is a problem, and the bigger the problem, the greater the potential miracle. If the wedding party in Cana hadnt run out of wine, there would have been no need for the Wine Maker to do what He did. What the bride and groom perceived as a problem was really a perfect opportunity for God to reveal His glory. And nothing has changed since Jesus turned water into wine, healed a man born blind, or called Lazarus out of his tomb four days after his funeral.
He is the God who can make your impossible possible!
Miraculous
O N A J ANUARY morning in 2007, a world-class violinist played six of Johann Sebastian Bachs most stirring concertos for the solo violin on a three-hundred-year-old Stradivarius worth $3.5 million. Two nights before, Joshua Bell had performed a sold-out concert where patrons gladly paid $200 for nosebleed seats, but this time the performance was free.
Bell ditched his tux with coattails, donned a Washington Nationals baseball cap, and played incognito outside the LEnfant Plaza Metro station. Street musicians are not an uncommon sight or sound for Washingtonians. In fact, my son Parker has played his guitar outside Metro stations a time or two, trying to make a little extra spending cash. Amazingly, his tip jar fared about as well as that of virtuoso Joshua Bell.
The experiment was originally conceived by Washington Post columnist Gene Weingarten and filmed by hidden camera. Of the 1,097 people who passed by, only seven stopped to listen. The forty-five-minute performance ended without
On an average workday nearly a million passengers ride Washingtons Metro system, and LEnfant Plaza is one of the busiest stops. A stampede of tourists and government employees hustle and bustle through turnstiles, trying to get where theyre going as quickly as possible. But those circumstances dont discredit or disqualify the question raised by this social experiment: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the greatest musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, on one of the most beautiful instruments ever made, how many similarly sublime moments do we miss out on during a normal day?
