Coincidences...Touched by a Miracle

Eleanor Roosevelt, William Styron, Patricia Neal, Bartolome de Las Casas, St. Gregory the Great, Jane Addams, Wilhelm Roentgen - what do all these famous persons have in common with one another and with thousands of the "less famous"? Each of them came face to face with phenomena not readily explainable, phenomena that changed the course of their lives, their work, and, at times, of human history.

In this impressive book, Antoinette Bosco has collected a kaleidoscope of stories about real people from all walks of life who experienced what might be called a "remarkable coincidence" in their lives. Are the patterns of their life stories really random? Or, as the author believes, is there an underlying design common to all, a design that reveals the hand and the presence of Someone who cares? "I think the Creator has a great sense of compassion and humor, and sometimes, like a loving parent, God expresses this to us mortals by whispering - 'Surprise'!"

These fascinating stories not only relate extraordinary events but reveal the profound humanity of the persons involved - their courage, their weakness, their faith, their fear, their needs, their love. This book will appeal to all who seek inspiration, who need a boost in their faith in God and in people, or who just want to enjoy some great true stories. An excellent resource for those who teach through story.
