Introduction

What if you had been given a miracle and didn’t know it? As part of their own spiritual quest, miracle experts, Joan Luise Hill and Katie Mahon, discovered when we are truly awake and present, miracles abound. What started by sharing their own stories, quickly prompted an unexpected outpouring of stories from others: stories that had never been told before, stories that didn’t seem to matter, and stories that had been long forgotten. While some defy explanation, others invite us to take a closer look, to discover common ground with each other, and to seek meaning in a whole new way. The stories of courage, forgiveness, gratitude, faith, hope, and love allow us to notice and appreciate the miracles that are available to each one of us, while opening us up to a part of the Divine mystery we can absorb and understand.
