I LOVE this book. The author, Marley Gibson is a friend, which is how I first became aware of the book. When she told me of the concept I got excited and have been eagerly waiting for it to come out. When I received it, I dove right in and it was even more moving than I expected it to be. What makes this book so special? This is a collection of true stories, of 'miracles' that happened to ordinary people around the holidays, which brought them closer to God, and made them truly appreciate the meaning of Christmas. I laughed and cried more than once as I made my way through the stories here.

This book offers hope during a time that is darker than usual for many people. The stories are inspirational and each one offers a unique perspective and affirms that there is something else out there, something wonderful and beautiful and good.

This book offers comfort and warmth and good cheer and I plan to purchase multiple copies to give as Christmas gifts to people I care about and who can benefit from the uplifting stories in this book.

Christmas Miracles by Cecil Murphey & Marley Gibson is the perfect book to help you get in the right frame of mind for the holidays by reminding you of what Christmas is really all about. The authors have taken true stories from a variety of authors about their own Christmas miracles. Births, deaths, injuries, and poverty are themes all touched on here, each with their own message of hope and faith. I definitely recommend keeping a box of tissues handy while reading. The stories are overflowing with emotion and written to remind readers that Christmas is a time of miracles, starting with the first one over two thousand years ago with the birth of a baby boy in a manger who came to save the world. Some miracles in this story are of the huge, biblical variety, others are far smaller, more a matter of the heart, but each is a reminder that God loves each and every one of us.

The perfect gift for the holidays. Inspirational, touching, encouraging... reminders of God's extraordinary goodness to ordinary people.

Christmas Miracles is a wonderful read. It's poignant stories are delightful, inspiring, miraculous, touching, and uplifting. I enjoyed every one of them! Each one is short and dynamic.

Christmas Miracles helped me stay in the mood for the true meaning of Christmas, despite all the many distractions that the world has placed on the holiday. Some of the stories moved me to tears, others made me laugh, and all of them are uplifting and point to the saving power of Jesus Christ. This is what we need to cling to when the commercialism of Christmas starts creeping in. Trees and Santa are fun, but this book exemplifies the real reason for the season through the amazing miracle of Jesus's birth and the many miracles that God works in our lives still today.

This is the perfect book to help you get into Christmas by reminding you of what Christmas is really all about. The authors have taken true stories from different authors and wrote them into this book. These are all short stories about miracles that has happened to different people. They are so touching that you may even see a miracle that has happened to you! Their is a story about everything from births, deaths, injuries, and poverty , each with their own message of hope and faith. You can sit down and read one short story or read as many as you want, one thing I am sure of it that this book will touch your heart and let you remember the reason for the season of Christmas. I hope these stories remind readers that Christmas is a time of miracles, starting with the first one over two thousand years ago with the birth of a baby boy in a manger who came to save the world.
