Do You Want a Miracle?: Miracles, Materialism, Angels and Other Spiritualities

The author uses stories from the Bible to examine the extraordinary trust that people had in Jesus and their belief that he would be able to perform the miracle they so greatly desired. This kind of trust is even more difficult to achieve today, surrounded as we are by scientific evidence refuting the existence of miracles. We also often turn to material goods to anaesthetise ourselves from our problems and distract us from our genuine desires. In this book we learn to turn away from these distractions and achieve the level of trust that Jesus demands of us if we are to receive the ultimate reward for our belief in him: a miracle.
