It isnt often I find myself holding my breath while reading a book, yet thats exactly what I found myself doing again and again as I turned the pages of this book. Its one thing to hear a moving story; its quite another to be moved by a story in a way that simultaneously challenges and stimulates your faith. My friend Don Jacobson accomplishes exactly that with his latest compilation.

We all have a God Thing story in our own lives. Sometimes seeing Gods work in others allows us to look introspectively on the miracles Hes done in us.

The writer of Hebrews exhorts Christians to encourage one another (Heb. 10:2425).

If youre discouraged, this is the book for you. If someone you know or love is discouraged, this is the book they need.

With their new book, Its a God Thing, I believe K-LOVE and my friend Don Jacobson will call friends of Jesus everywhere to look for His capers around the world! Do you know why God involves Himself in our lives? Because God is love and love does!

Bob Goff, author of the New York Times bestseller Love Does

If there is one thing that God wants us to understand, it is total dependence on Him. Sometimes we find that we are completely wiped out and feel there is nowhere else to turn. God tells us to turn it all over to Him; it is then that He says He will take care of us. In Him is where we find true peace that passes understanding, when we trade our own understanding for our Fathers. The stories in this book demonstrate that. These true servants of God share how their lives were transformed when their understanding became the Fathers. What a blessing to be a child of the King!

Missy Robertson, star of Duck Dynasty

There is so much going on around us that we never see. Life is all about perspective, and when that lines up with the hand of God, it is remarkable to witness. This book and collection of stories from my friends at K-LOVE will inspire and encourage you greatly!

Andy Andrews, New York Times best-selling author, The Noticer and The Travelers Gift

Every day we all are faced with stress, situations we cant control and often the fear that we really are all alone. God clearly calls us to be one body. He wants us to come togetherto tell our storiesto encourage and support each other. That is what these stories dothey give us courage in times of peril and strengthen us when we feel helpless. God has not left us aloneHe is with us.

When my work started taking me to remote communities across Africa, Latin America, and Asia, I began hearing more and more about real miraclesGods intervention into the everyday on behalf of his people. For various reasons we in the West have forgotten how to see this evidence of Gods hand on our liveswhether in big or small ways. In Don Jacobsons Its a God Thing, we are given the gift of a stirring collage of everyday miracles that encourage and inspire while also sensitizing us to the reality that God is still at work in incredible ways in our lives and around the world.

Keith Wright, president, Food for the Hungry

Its a God Thing is a refreshing reminder of Gods attention to the details of our lives. In a world that is often filled with an excess of bad news, the accounts of everyday miracles point to the bigness of God and the greatness of His mercy. My only complaint is that the book ended too soon!

Most of us, including myself, see miracles as something only happening during biblical times. Well, my friend, since the Bible applies today more than ever, Id say we are still in biblical times, and miracles are very much alive and well! Weve just gotten really good at explaining away miracles, no matter how big or small. My prayer is this book opens our eyes to the miracles that happen around us and even in our own lives. For me, the timing of this book is absolutely perfect. Sometimes Im guilty of looking so hard for God that I miss Him right in front of me. May we all be reminded through Its a God Thing that some of the simplest moments in life can quite possibly be some of Gods greatest miracles. Because of the cross, my very next breath is a huge miracle. Thank you, Jesus!

Bart Millard, lead singer of MercyMe

There is nothing better than hearing others talk about the ways that God has intervened in their lives. Miracles happen every day all around the world. These stories are incredible.
