Alice Gray, speaker, author, creator, and compiler of the award-winning book series Stories for the Heart
In a culture filled with skepticism and surplus, Amazing Modern-Day Miracles is a poignant reminder that the Lord is still working in miraculous ways to bring healing and redemption. I cant wait to share these stories with my children so they can see the mighty power of prayer!
JJ Heller, singer, songwriter
Prayer is amazing! Yet we so easily forget its power and influence. Amazing Modern-Day Miracles reminds us of Gods miraculous interventions in our everyday life. It also challenges us to go to Him more often. These stories will change your life. You will find yourself reflecting on them and sharing them with others long after youve put the book down. I cant wait to read the sequel.

Reading these amazing stories is like drinking a tall, cool glass of hope. Each story increased my level of faith into believing that more of the impossible and miraculous will happen. The joy-filled endings pointed me to a loving Father and a Savior whose resurrected power still operates today.

There is nothing more powerful than prayer, and Amazing Modern-Day Miracles has dozens of personal, life-changing examples confirming this truth. I plan to give a copy to all of our prayer leaders at the Hollywood Prayer Network. The more we hear about others answered prayers, the more our faith will grow!

Deborah A. Peterson, MS, grant writing consultant
Wow! Christ-followers know He answers prayer, but to relive so many examples stirs it out of the head into the heart. After each story I wanted to shout, Its true! Its true! May reading these answered prayers encourage you to take a step of faith and let Him answer yours.

This is a powerful book of testimonies. I was inspired by the persistence and growing faith of those who prayed for years before seeing answers. You will find yourself pondering and remembering the stories of how God answered those who prayed, and even how He pursued those who did not.
