On October 13, 2010, millions of television viewers on five continents literally stopped everything to watch the amazing rescue of 33 men trapped underground in the mine of San Jose de Copiapo in northern Chile. What had seemed at first a hopeless tragedy later became a triumph of human effort, courage, perseverance, and expertise. For 17 excruciating days no one knew whether any of the miners had survived the collapse of the mine shaft, nor were the surviving miners aware of any rescue attempts. They spent a total of 69 days trapped underground. And it was there, in that frightening cavern, that one man took on the responsibility of encouraging the others and use the tragedy as an opportunity to share his faith. Miracle in the Mine is the story of Jose Henriquez. The testimony of a man who was no stranger to danger even before he found himself trapped 2,300 feet under the earth in the San Jose mine. A man who has unequivocally demonstrated his integrity, courage, and moral strength both before, during, and after the mining accident, and who is now using this experience to inspire the world.

An amazing story of survival under extreme circumstances by the 23 miners underground for 79 days. Their working together and being able to get along with each other as well as acknowledging the 24th person in their midst, the Lord God himself, a powerful answer to consistent prayer and being one in all they did to keep themselves alive with limited food and places to exercise. An amazing answer to prayer as so many of them came to know Christ personally. Anj amzing story of God's grace and love I started reading it and couldn't put it down.
