Product Description
Four years ago, Mary Ellen decided to send good news to friends and family online, so when she encountered a story of faith or hope she passed it along. Mary Ellen sent stories about real people who experienced a miracle: a destitute woman whose prayer for financial help is answered by a stranger's kindness, letters from each member of a family thanking the man who couldn't stand outside their burning house without trying to help -- and their gratitude to a person who risked his life to save theirs. People began sending Mary Ellen their own stories, and asking to be added to her list. Expect Miracles is a collection of the best of these stories from the site's first three years. Powerfully moving, these stories touch the heart and lift the spirit.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book., October 8, 1999

By	Dick (Sedona, Arizona) - See all my reviews

"I am currently reading Mary Ellen's new book, "Expect Miracles," and must express my overwhelming gratitude for what this kind of book adds to all of our lives.

I read one or two "miracle" stories each morning to begin my meditation and prayer time, and usually end up starting this period of my day with tears running down my cheeks... which even as a male I lovingly admit!

Discovering how other people are helping one another or have discovered angelic help in their lives is a great way to start the day.

This book will make a perfect gift for all your friends, whether or not this is a critical time in their lives, or just as an added gift because you love them so much... either way, its message will be well received, I guarantee it, and more than likely passed on to other people in their lives as each day passes.

And hopefully, they too will buy extra copies and send them to their friends. I give this little jewel a 5 star rating (out of a possible high of 5). Share it with all those you love!

with peace, love and joy,

4.0 out of 5 stars An uplifting, positive book, February 2, 2000

By	Island reader (Pacific Northwest) - See all my reviews

Think of Expect Miracles as Chicken Soup for the Soul WITH Soul. These days, it's too easy to focus on the bad things that happen. Mary Ellen shows us that there are plenty of good things happening. She also shows how we can perform simple acts of kindness and become someone's "earth angel." If you're feeling a little low, this book will lift your spirits. If you're already feeling good, this book will make you feel even better.

Keep up the good work, Mary Ellen!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love "Expect Miracles." I couldn't put it down...., October 26, 1999

By A Customer

and spent many happy moments of my 81st birthday yesterday reading it from cover to cover.

This old world is in need of Mary Ellen's special touch! Each of the stories provides much appreciation for events that happen to us and "lights" the readers' paths thru sunshine and stormy days, providing an inspiration to each and all of us, and encourages us to look for miracles, to expect to find them, and recognizing them.

"Expect Miracles" an exceptional book, and is one which I will read, reread and reread many times, it will always be a "very special friend", with its special words of wisdom, thoughtfulness, and love. Thank you! Mary
