A Treasury of Miracles for Teens (17 page)

Filled with amazing true stories for and about teens, this uplifting collection shows us that we are never alone, not even
in the darkest hour— not even when life takes the most astonishing turns.

A TREASURY OF MIRACLES FOR TEENS

A terrifying abduction leaves two girls desperate to escape…a blizzard howls around a freezing young hiker…a twin in a hospital
waiting room has never felt so afraid…. Where can they turn when it seems that nothing, or no one, can help? The answer is
as close as a heartbeat away, for God is always there when we need His love—or a miracle.

In this extraordinary collection, inspirational author Karen Kingsbury brings together the stories of teens all across America.
Each real-life tale contains proof that God cares about us 24/7 and responds to our prayers, often in surprising ways. Among
them are:

• Miracle on Two Battlefields.
  Sent to war in the Middle East, a young soldier cries out for help in the face of certain death. What happens next no one
  can explain…
  
• Missing Daddy.
  A despairing daughter asks for a sign that her father has not left her forever… and gets a stunning response.
  
• A Face like Jesus.
  Drugs have taken over the life of this sixteen-year-old. But the struggle for his soul and his future will take a dramatic
  turn in a place as unlikely as the local supermarket.
  
• Heaven’s Perfect Timing.
  A college freshman drives home in a worsening storm. Ahead lies danger she cannot see. It would take a miracle to get her
  to stop in time….
  

These deeply moving stories show us how faith works in wondrous ways for
ordinary
teens. Their experiences can encourage us to keep God involved in our own lives and to experience for ourselves the power—and
miraculous possibilities—of love.
