Publisher Description
BELIEVE IN SMALL MIRACLES
Have you ever experienced a moment when a seemingly random event also seemed strangely meaningful or even miraculous? Whether it was as simple as anticipating a phone call, or as dramatic as rekindling a lost love, what you experienced may be more significant than you thought. It may be nothing less than a small miracle -- possibly the work of angels, or a message from a higher power.
Small Miracles is a collection of such stories that are moving, heartwarming, and inspirational. These remarkable coincidences -- often containing profound teachings, important moral lessons, and even divine messages -- draw us out of the ordinariness of everyday life. If you can open yourself to receiving and understanding the meaning of these gifts, you will experience the possibilities, the blessings, and the sense of harmony within the universe that they offer.

"ini hampir sama dgn When God Winks hanya saja lebih berupa contoh2 cerita seperti chicken soup, but...it's cool. membuat kita menyadari akan arti dari lebih dari sekedar kebetulan, sekecila apapun itu, walaupun dalan hati kecil kita ingin menyangkalnya dan membuang jauh2 kebetulan2 tersebut..."

“Small Miracles is a book you’ll love and cherish for a long time to come. It will make you aware of similar events that are happening to you-those touches of grace that, when we think to look for them, bless us all.”
— Belle -
“Halberstam and Leventhal have collected several remarkable, almost unbelievable stories. They are totally delightful and would convince any skeptic that God is alive and well and working in all different types of peoples' lives. Relating the most extreme coincidences, the tales warm the heart and move the human spirit to believe in fairy tale endings. Halberstam and Leventhal, in their heavy New York Jewish accents, alternate the telling of the stories. They give a completely believable, comfortable reading, creating a compelling atmosphere, making the listener wish for more of these wonderful tales.”
