When you need a miracle you're probably not in a very happy place, you are in turmoil and in great need. And after you have received a Miracle, revisiting the traumatic event and trying to make sense of everything can be very painful and difficult. Most of us prefer to forge ahead into the light rather than look back on dark events. To recognize the Miracle you have to recognize the pain and that's why I think we hear so little about a Miracles these days.</span></span></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"></span></span></div><div align="center"><span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"></span></span></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546827712942272306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmkCijuvND9adNaqn3AgBUcmxIVaBqvgmoc_I6ZPdLy7SqfwC54s5PFH0ID4IGHPu5hZHdbi6wY9y26Cziiv3IZBsk2EqMTd6FjOOSNNhY3XBZ8OsjBKDamPD76HlTmlzpOhNYsHbGZGmx/s400/miracle+Chase.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 190px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 244px; CURSOR: hand" /> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="center"><span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';">I do not want to give away too much of the book, but it highlights each of these women's journeys, their personal Miracles, their incredible friendship and the history behind Miracles in every religion.
