Product Description

Life moves at a dizzying pace. Years slip away before we know it, leaving us with a stack of photo albums. But snapshots can't adequately capture the pivotal events that stretch and define our lives--"aha" moments when God steps in to lovingly mold us into the people he designed us to become.

We all experience times such as these . . .
An unexpected move changes life forever
A child's joy overwhelms us
A loved one dies
A stranger appears and we reach out to help
A gift from God arrives just in time

Divine appointments and sacred interruptions may show up as ordinary, everyday events or as complex struggles--with the power to alter our lives forever.

When God Steps In: Stories of Everyday Grace offers a close-up look at what can happen when we slow the pace and allow God to speak peace to our hearts. Borrowed from the pages of real lives, these fifty true stories will encourage you to recognize sacred interruptions and to grow not in spite of, but because of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Increase Your Awareness of God's Work In Your Everyday Life, April 30, 2008

By	W. Terry Whalin "Publisher/ Editor / Writer" (Scottsdale, Arizona) - See all my reviews

Some people call it "luck" or "good fortune" when unexpectedly good things happen in their life. Bonnie Bruno through this excellent book, WHEN GOD STEPS IN helps readers get in touch with the God Factor in their lives and celebrate his active involvement in our lives.

Our lives are filled with daily challenges and we need that heavenly touch to lovingly mold us. Now through these fifty stories about different people, you can repeatedly see God's hand of grace and guidance in life. This book is a solid dose of encouragement and combines Bruno's beautiful photography with inspirational words.

I recommend reading one of these stories each day or purchasing the book for a friend who needs encouragement. You can gain from the experiences of others to increase the awareness of God's work in your life.
