Where Miracles Happen is a wonderful book, which will warm your heart, bring tears to your eyes and leave you with such a warm feeling all over! Ms. Anderson has managed once again, to capture the essence of the miraculous in everyday life. With over 50 different accounts of true encounters with heavenly beings, one knows that God loves us, we are watched over, protected, and guided constantly throughout our lives. Sometimes, as shown by several of the stories, our deceased loved ones are with us and also watching over us.

Help is always available, one just has to ask for it, as the story illustrated of the mother who did not have enough money to feed her children and food miraculously appeared, or the child caught in the snowstorm and could not find her way home, yet was guided by a supposed neighbor, who was later found out to be sick that entire week, or the gentleman who was protected driving when his mother invoked safety prayers from him and avoided a collision where a dozen cars lost control, yet no one was injured.

There are also stories of healings and of our loved ones sending signs and messages to reassure us that they are indeed in a place of love and that they are indeed all right. It seems that their messages and signs bring such healing and release to those that they have left behind.

These stories will inspire you and lift you up if you are feeling blue. Sometimes we need gentle reminders from above, that we are loved and cherished and not forgotten, even though we ourselves may think so.

I love keeping Ms. Anderson's books near by and randomly opening them and reading passages after a long and particularly stressful day! I would also encourage anyone to check out Ms. Anderson's website, where one can subscribe to a true angel story of the week!

This book would be great comfort to anyone who has lost a loved one, as well as to those who are experiencing turmoil in their lives. The title of the book does indeed live up to its name and the miracles presented in this book are phenomenal!

Highly recommended!!

Every so often you come upon a book that stirs within you emotions so deep that it almost takes your breath away; this is what happens in this outstanding work, "Where Miracles Happen."

Author Joan Wester Anderson shares the stories of people, like you and me, who were touched with the miraculous. Stories of healings, life's saved, changed and left knowing they were kissed by a God who loves them. Their stories will leave you with a feeling of complete awe, deep reverence and expected hope and will turn your eyes once again to the One who made you.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. For the Believer it is an affirmation of their faith, a building block to draw upon and a salve for their soul. To the un-believer it should certainly be an eye-opener and if nothing more leave them with some thought provoking material. This is a must have, a book that should grace everyone's library; a book of faith and hope that can be read and enjoyed time and time again.

This is a very inspiring book we can rely on when we need the reassurance we are not alone and that our life has special meaning. There are numerous, uplifting short stories covering a broad spectrum of situations where divine assistance seems to be the only logical explanation for the events. This read is potentially life-changing.

This is my third Joan Wester Anderson book. My son and I read one of the stories each night before bed, we've been doing this for about a year now and it is such a great way to finish our day. The stories have strengthened our faith and given us some great discussion openers. The stories are pretty short and easy to read in a 5-10 minute time frame. This is so inspiring and will truly lift the spirit. It is a great gift for any holiday.

Where Miracles Happen is a truly wonderful book. It will bring love to your heart and tears to your eyes. A definite must read for anyone who loves miracles books.

This book is clearly written with love and compassion, a true gem. From beginning to end, the inspirational accounts of angelic encounters serve to uplift the reader and the author gently guides the stories in a beautiful flow of prose. Highly recommended for anyone needing a dose of love and beauty in their lives.

"Where Miracles Happen" is a beautiful collection of true stories - all involving either prayers answered, angels, &/or other amazing, awe-inspiring miracles.

As I read on, I kept thinking of the statement "God works in mysterious ways" - and this is quite evident in each & every one of the stories presented.

Overall, I found this book to be an inspiring, interesting, easy read - the pages seemed to turn themselves! So, I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the topics of angels, prayers answered, and/or other evidences of God's miracles in the lives of "everyday" men & women - you won't be disappointed.

Words can not express how this book will make you feel once you have read it. For myself, I felt overpowered with love & joy and an undying need to spread the word of our heavenly father's love. Joan W. Anderson can only been described as a "living vessel" of her very own work.What an concept? An angel to write about angels. What a blessing it has to have read her writings. God works in wonderous ways.

This delightful and eye-opening novel is a true masterpiece. You will laugh and cry as your fingers turn each page of the wonderous book. It is filled with true heavenly encounters and assures us that God is constantly around us, working in our everyday lives. You should definitely read this book. It is a five-star, high quality book.

As usual, Joan deal with the subject matter with the respect and awe that it deserves. These stories warm the coldest heart and upon finishing the book, my heart felt lighter, more full of joy.
