Its a privilege to endorse this life-changing book so needed in the church at this time. After Christian philosopher J. P. Moreland provides clear ways to think about unanswered prayer and offers a grid for recognizing special divine action and helping us see how our lives are surrounded by miracles, he takes us on a fascinating tour of Gods works today.

C RAIG S. K EENER , F. M. and Ada Thompson professor of biblical studies, Asbury Theological Seminary

As a new Christian at the age of thirty-five, I struggled to see Gods involvement in the world around me. I had grown so accustomed to attributing everything to the forces of nature or the efforts of humans that I missed the obvious interaction of God. I so wish I had J. P. Morelands new book back then. A Simple Guide to Experience Miracles will help you recognize Gods handiwork in your own life, reenergize your prayer life, and renew your sense of awe and wonder. Dont waste another day overlooking the miraculous, supernatural activity of God. Let J. P. show you what you may have been missing.

J. W ARNER W ALLACE , Dateline-featured cold-case detective and author of Person of Interest and Cold-Case Christianity

This remarkable book is filled with numerous fascinating, faith-building reports of miracles that God continues to work even today. Those stories make this book a persuasive refutation of the claim that miracles have ceased. J. P. Moreland also argues for the veracity of these reports, using the analytic skills of a professional philosopher. And he writes with practical pastoral wisdom as he explains why we should still be expecting miracles today and how we can pray more effectively. Highly recommended!

W AYNE G RUDEM , distinguished research professor of theology and biblical studies, Phoenix Seminary

Whether you are still skeptical and doubt the reality of the miraculous or are a passionate proponent of the supernatural, this book is for you. With remarkable depth and clarity, J. P. Moreland brings to bear on this subject his gifting as a philosopher, apologist, theologian, and student of the Scriptures. He explores with profound insight and biblical grounding such issues as the nature of the miraculous, whether we should pray for miracles, and how we might know if a miracle has happened. The specific stories of the miraculous cited in the book as well as J. P.s personal experience will serve you well as you explore this fascinating topic. I cant recommend this excellent book too highly.

P AUL C OPAN , Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics at Palm Beach Atlantic University and author of Loving Wisdom

It often takes a scholar with gravitas and a firm reputation to risk moving readers toward an emerging position that is viewed skeptically by many peers. Miracles today? Wheres the data? J. P. Moreland is just such a researcher who thinks that the time has come to both take that challenge and place it within a framework that makes good sense. Very highly recommended.

G ARY R. H ABERMAS , distinguished research professor, Liberty University

God is on the move today all over the world, and its important to have careful documentation of divine miracles that are faith building. J. P. Moreland is a highly respected scholar, and he has been very careful to vet and verify five different kinds of contemporary miracles happening all around us. He also provides engaging, inspiring cases of each, along with solid reflections about how to think about the miraculous. I highly recommend this unique and exciting book.

A Simple Guide to Experience Miracles helped open up new depths of intercessory prayer and discernment in my life when I needed it most. If you are a Christian who has longed to experience more of Gods supernatural and gospel-authenticating presence, this book is an answer to your prayers.

Dr. Moreland approaches his readers with the warmth of an old friend, taking them on a tour of vetted miracle accounts. Highly practical and a brilliant encouragement!

M RS . R AE D ARABONT , graduate student and philanthropist

J. P Moreland is a brilliant thinker with a tender heart and winsome spirit, an expert who chooses to remain a novice in order to discover more of the King and his kingdom. His humility and hunger for the things of God inspire me. A Simple Guide to Experience Miracles is exceptional. It marries what is necessary today but so often easily separated: mastery and mystery, conviction and curiosity, rigorous scholarship and passionate spirituality, logic and fire. I highly recommend this book to everyone eager to encounter the incomparable God who moves in inexplicable ways.
