Great Testomony of the Power of Faith,
By Glutton for books (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miracles Do Happen: The Inspiring True Story Of The World-Famous Healer And The Reality Of Miracles (Mass Market Paperback)
"Miracles Do Happen" is an excellent testimony to the power of faith. Briege Mckenna developed sever arthritis as a young adult, which confined her to a wheel chair. When attending a Catholic Charismatic prayer services, she was miraculously healed. Allegedly, she received a private revelation, in which God asked her to be a healer to others. She debated whether the message was really from God, as she was a member of a contemplative community, but after a period of discernment and a series of signs, she lost all doubt."Miracles do Happen" is an autobiography of Sr. Briege's healing ministry. She prays for people and many have been healed of spiritual and physical pains and diseases. The book is full of stories and photos of people, whom she has encountered during her journey and many of whom were healed by prayers. It is easy to be skeptical of spiritual healers today, but unlike many charlatans in the field, Sr. Briege does not accept money or promote products or methodology for financial gains. The book is great for renewing faith in prayer, and offers much guidance and learning to discern God's voice in your life through prayer. Sr.Briege herself spends an estimated two-three hours in prayer each day, and write about the types of Christian spiritual practices which have been spiritually edifying for her. This is a simple book about the role that prayer and faith has played in her life, and in the lives of others whom she has had the fortune to know, during her religious life and is not bogged down in theological explanations or issues related to debatable doctrines. It is written simply as an intimate conversation, as often is the case of works from saints, and when one reads it one has to wonder if they are living in a very special life time of a woman who might be recognized as a saint in the future.

A Very Powerful Book,
By Mag Sy (Philippines) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miracles Do Happen: The Inspiring True Story Of The World-Famous Healer And The Reality Of Miracles (Mass Market Paperback)
I grew up with a lot of Catholic educational background, but it was only after reading Sr. McKenna's book that I really appreciated the Sacrament of the Eucharist and of Confession. Her language is simple but her words are powerful. You can really feel Christ's healing presence just by reading the book....

This is a life changing book! And a healing one,
By envchemist (Columbia, SC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miracles Do Happen: The Inspiring True Story Of The World-Famous Healer And The Reality Of Miracles (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the story of how Sister Breige McKenna became a healer of human bodies and human souls. She herself had a instantaneous healing from Rhematoid Arthritis. Because of this book I sought out her phone number and upon hearing a healing prayer over the phone, I was healed spiritually. I have never been the same and I thank God for it! Buy this, you won't regret it!!!

I was deeply impressed by Sister Briege's devotional life. She devotes 3 hours per day to prayer. Incredible miracles are the result. I am challenged by her example to deepen my own devotional life. -

Miracles Do Happen,
By Allison Brigham (Louisiana, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miracles Do Happen: The Inspiring True Story Of The World-Famous Healer And The Reality Of Miracles (Mass Market Paperback)
The story about Jesus's work in Sister Briege's life is WONDERFUL! I am looking forward to reading it again and am buying the book for friends. In this time when there seems to be so many "choices" in the world, there is only one true choice if we want to obtain everlasting life... JESUS. Jesus's message through Sister Briege is powerful and one that I am following. Please join me and welcome Jesus Christ into your life.

You can trust in the power of Jesus Christ,
By Lourdes Lisieux (Hotlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Miracles Do Happen (Paperback)
Our book study just completed Miracles Do Happen. It was incredible to see God open hearts and minds to Jesus' healing power. It's written in a simple style but it packs a punch in terms of presenting the Gospel. The son of a friend of our group was diagnosed with a recurrence of a brain tumor, and just like in the book, Sister Briege showed up in our town and was able to pray with him and his family. His prognosis is now quite favorable, praise God. If you want to hear the story of how Jesus still cares about His people, how Jesus is still in the healing business and you need a reason to have hope in Christ, this book is the best choice I've ever seen.

Miracles do Hppen,
This review is from: Miracles Do Happen: The Inspiring True Story Of The World-Famous Healer And The Reality Of Miracles (Mass Market Paperback)
Sr. Briege McKenna's simple style and her faith make me feel that I am having a conversation with the author. She appeals to faith and simple logics, instead of theology and doctrine, to bring Christ to us.
