Expect a Miracle: The Miraculous Things That Happen to Ordinary People
by By Wakefield, Dan
Category: Religion , General

In Expect A Miracle, Wakefield starts with miracles in his own life - an improbable recovery from a near-fatal car accident during college and his middle-age recovery from desperate alcoholism - and then weaves a remarkable tapestry of true miracle stories from people he met in his workshops and in travels to Lourdes, Ireland, and throughout the U.S. Representing all walks of life and faith - a factory worker in Ireland, a psychiatrist in Denver, a Buddhist in Berkeley, and a prisoner at Sing-Sing - these miracles range from amazing physical healing to startling bursts of artistic creativity, the abrupt liberation from a long imprisonment of addiction and despair to the unexpected presence of God and deceased loved ones.
