This book is dedicated to the glory of the Lord
and in accordance with the Great Commission
(see Matt. 28:18-20).

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of the wonderful story contributors who so generously volunteered their stories for inclusion in this book of 50 miracle stories for the glory and purposes of the Lord.

I would also like to extend a very special thank you to all of those contributors who have provided me with referrals for this book, including Mr. Sid Roth, Mr. Jack Olson, Mr. Bruce Van Natta, Mrs. Ellen Stevenson, Dr. Sherry Anne Lints, Dr. Theresa Veach, and Ms. Audra Rose Smith. Thank you all so very much.

Thank you also to Dr. Sherry Anne Lints, Dr. Theresa Veach, and Mrs. Carolyn Curran-Fyckes (my mother) for so generously volunteering your time and talents to writing an extra story or two each for this book. This was so highly appreciated. You are all very talented writers.

To all of those persons who have supplied books, CDs, DVDs, and other resources and teaching materials to help with this book, a big thank you goes out to those of you too. This help was absolutely invaluable, and these materials were so needed for this book project. Thank you also to my intellectual property lawyer, Mark Koch, for his invaluable and most generous advice and assistance with this book, and as well a thank you to everyone who supported or assisted with the advance ministry pre-orders for this book. Two-thousand copies of these books were ordered in about eleven weeks! That was a true miracle of the Lord!

To Pastor Rev. Evans Barning of Lamb of God Miracle Ministries, who wrote the foreword for this book, thank you ever so much. This was such an amazing blessing.

To a very special team of book endorsers: Rev. Joe Campbell, national director of development at Christians for Israel; Audra Rose Smith, producer of The 700 Club from the Tennessee office; Mr. Ed Epp, executive director of CBM Canada; Mrs. Vicki Schleider, co-owner and station manager of Power 93.9 FM in Brantford, Ontario, Canada; and Dr. Rev. Larry Brice, co-founder of Reachout Ministries. Thank you all so very much. Your endorsements were so wonderful, and I am truly thankful for each and every one.

Next, another huge thank you certainly goes out to two individuals who are requesting anonymity: a wonderfully generous best-selling author who paid for the editing expenses, and also to an editor friend of his, who he arranged to do the editing for this book. There are no words in our English dictionary to thank you enough for what you have done. Thank you both so very, very much, from the bottom of my heart. I just know that the Lord will repay you for your most wonderful kindness and generosity to me, and for this book. Bless you both so very much. I believe also that countless souls will come into the Kingdom as a result of how you have both heard from the Lord.

Now a word of thanks to my amazing publisher, Destiny Image, and especially to Ronda, my acquisitions agent, along with all of those persons involved in the decision-making process, and other areas of bringing this book together. You have all been amazing, and I thank you tremendously for all that you have done. You sensed the Lord in this book and brought the vision of this book to life with the aid and direction of the Lord in every step. You heard from the Lord, and now this book is here. Thank you all so very much. I have treasured my first experience with your publishing company.

Now almost last, but certainly not least, I wish to thank my sister, Bonnie, who not only was my regular office assistant with this book project but then also willingly lent her photography assistance for this book. Bonnie, you were an incredible help. This book wouldnt have been possible without your steadfast and consistent help and support. You are a fantastic sister, and I thank you and love you very much. Also I would like to make mention a very special note of thanks to my wonderful husband, who I love very much. Im very proud of you also!

And finally, thank you to all of my family, and the many wonderful friendsincluding story contributors and otherswho have so freely lent their support from start to the finish with this book project. Your continued prayers and many words of encouragement have been invaluable. May the Lord richly bless each and every one of you for all of your tremendous contributions. You have all been amazing, and I thank the Lord for each and every one of you!

In His Love,
Allison

The testimonies in this book will dramatically encourage and inspire each Christian reader. I was amazed at the diversity of stories in which Gods miraculous power radiated in the lives of ordinary persons who were impacted in extraordinary ways. No one who reads
