"Offers compelling evidence concerning miracles, that there's something real to be reckoned with, whatever one has thought of the topic before. This book is also a thoughtful answer to the books of the "New Atheists" -- Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris -- who have passionately asserted not just the impossibility of miracles and the supernatural, but the outright harmfulness of belief in them. The author provides a serious discussion of the compatibility between faith and science as well as astonishing but well-documented stories of actual miracles from people he knows. A more current, anecdotal, and personal version of C. S. Lewis's 1947 book on the subject, Miracles is a powerfully winsome challenge that miracles are not only possible but are far more widespread than most of us ever might have imagined. Eric Metaxas was the keynote speaker at the 2012 National Prayer Breakfast and at the 2013 Canadian National Prayer Breakfast. He is a senior fellow and lecturer-at-large at The King's College in New York City"--Provided by publisher.
