Are there times that you doubt that God is willing to work in your life?

Or that He could use you in His service? In this collection of stories you will read of miracles and simple ordinary experiences that reveal God’s willingness to work in the lives of those who pray.

As you read these and other stories, you will find yourself inspired to deepen your prayer life and rediscover the God who delights in doing far more than we expect in, through, and for us.

Meet Fred, a 17-year-old stroke victim; Trish, a housewife with a burden for a missionary friend; Louise, a factory worker who struggled three hours to find her way home in a blizzard; and Shannon’s family, who experienced God’s peace in the midst of tragedy.

Meet Senator John Ashcroft, whose father left him a wonderful prayer legacy; Colonel Harland Sanders, whose nearly bankrupt business received a fresh start when he began listening to God’ and the author herself, who prayed for a George Mueller experience.
