Publisher's summary

The definitive book on miracles from the New York Times best-selling author of Bonhoeffer, Eric Metaxas.

What are miracles, and why do we believe in them? Is it for comfort, to explain the inexplicable, or do we simply long for a connection with something larger than ourselves? And why do some people dismiss them out of hand, as if they can never happen?

What Heaven is for Real did for near-death experiences, Miracles does for the miraculous - provides undeniably compelling evidence that there's something real to be reckoned with, whatever one has thought of this topic before. It provides a wide range of real stories of the miraculous and will engage the listener in the serious discussion that this fascinating and rich subject deserves.

Miracles is in some ways a more personal, anecdotal, and updated version of C. S. Lewis's 1947 book on the subject. Metaxas's Miracles is an exploration and an exhortation to view miracles as not only possible, but as far more widespread than most of us had ever imagined.

Eric Metaxas says it is not a question of whether miracles happen - the evidence that they do is overwhelming in this audiobook alone - but rather, what exactly are miracles, why do they happen, and how can we to understand them in our own lives?

Great Book!

I found the material intellectually stimulating and spiritually challenging. I would recommend this book for any seeker or those who are well-established in their faith. It cuts across all lines. Thank you Eric.

Great content, wish the author read it

If you could sum up Miracles in three words, what would they be?

What great content!

How could the performance have been better?

Anyone who listens to Eric Metaxas' radio show or podcasts knows the author has an entertaining and winsome speaking style. Unfortunately this speaker's performance is pretty wooden and monotone. This makes it more of an effort for the listener to stay focused for some of the science-focused sections, and loses much of the humanity in the personal stories that come later.

wonderful

I very much enjoyed the stories in this book. Truly inspiring! I did not listen to the beginning of the book as I just wanted to hear the stories. I did not want to hear the explanation of miracles since I am a seasoned Christian and already have a thorough understanding of the validity of miracles.

Almost Everyday Miracles

I likes the way Eric began with teaching us about miracles and after educating the reader he began telling us the miracles.
Thanks Eric!
