Book Description
The memory of warmth and safety faded... Ice seemed to cover everything in Ireland from Dublin to Dungarran. It was a bad time to be homeless and a worse time to be an orphan. Bitty Brown was both. Bitty left the warmth of the Sisters of Mercy, deciding a life on the streets would be better than working seven days a week in the laundry, getting spots out of the clergy's robes. Now she spent her nights huddled under a cardboard box, hoping to find her next meal in the nearby garbage cans. The kindness of Pastor Percy afforded her an old shawl to cover her shoulders. She felt lost and alone with barely a memory of the comfort of her mother's arms. Then she met Mr. Jones, a scruffy dog accompanied by an unusual beggar. Bitty sensed something strange about the beggar, something that could change her life. Every night, she prayed for miracles. Could this be the miracle that would save Bitty Brown's life?

Book Description
The Miracle of Amsterdam presents a “cultural biography” of a Dutch devotional manifestation. According to tradition, on the night of March 15, 1345, a Eucharistic host thrown into a burning fireplace was found intact hours later. A chapel was erected over the spot, and the citizens of Amsterdam became devoted to their “Holy Stead." From the original Eucharistic processions evolved the custom of individual devotees walking around the chapel while praying in silence, and the growing international pilgrimage site contributed to the rise and prosperity of Amsterdam. With the arrival of the Reformation, the Amsterdam Miracle became a point of contention between Catholics and Protestants, and the changing fortunes of this devotion provide us a front-row seat to the challenges facing religion in the world today. Caspers and Margry trace these transformations and their significance through the centuries, from the Catholic medieval period through the Reformation to the present day.

Book Description
One cannot read the miracles of Christ reported in the gospel of Mark without being convinced of the divinity of Christ. John Mark repeatedly records Christ's divine powers over nature, illness, severe physical handicaps, and sin. These events in which God's power entered into human situations had profound effects on those who witnessed them -- and they continue to teach us great spiritual truths today. Pastors will find this volume packed with valuable idea starters for their sermons. For each miracle in Cycle B, Harold Lentz shares background material, sermon approaches, and several illustrations. Instead of wondering, "What shall I preach on this Sunday?" you'll be thinking, "I can't wait to share all this information with my people!" Harold H. Lentz served as pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Ashland, Ohio, prior to becoming the president of Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin. As a pastor he increased the active membership of his congregation from 725 to 1,067. His Sunday morning sermons were broadcast and according to surveys were heard by more listeners than popular national preachers. As president of Carthage College, Lentz oversaw the relocation of its campus from Carthage, Illinois, to Kenosha, Wisconsin. This multi-million dollar effort resulted in a quadrupling of enrollment. The recipient of three honorary degrees, Dr. Lentz earned his Ph.D. with honors from Yale University, where he was named a University Fellow. He also holds degrees from Wittenberg University, Hamma School of Theology, and Oberlin College. This is his fifth publication.
