Book Description
Perhaps everyone could use a miracle, but very few will find the one they truly need. Amid a war torn land, hidden deep within an enchanted forest, hides an orphanage where miracles abound. It s a magical place built by a resolute king who is determined to defeat an evil sorcerer waging bitter war against his people. Victory just might take a miracle, and so the orphanage may very well hide the key to winning the war. A young girl named Kelsey also desperately needs a miracle. She embarks on a quest to find the mysterious and hidden orphanage. Along the way she s joined by several traveling companions, including an over-sized snow leopard and a boy who cannot speak. In a land enchanted, it's difficult to know the difference between what's real and what isn't ... and what a true friend looks like. Join Kelsey and her companions as they embark on an extraordinary adventure and a quest unlike any other. The Orphanage of Miracles is a work of fiction that examines the concept of miracles and what it takes to find or make the one you need.

Book Description
The Baptist Children's Homes of North Carolina, founded on November 11, 1885, has grown from a single location in the central part of the State, to campuses and group homes from the mountains to the coast. The early visionaries were strong-willed and hard working people. They were consumed with a passion for making life better for disadvantaged children. Their genius lay in their determination to succeed, no matter what the obstacles. A Place for Miracles details some of those early struggles to overcome opposition to the Orphanage, find suitable land for construction, and secure enough money with which to begin. But the book is more than just a recital of historical events. Rather, A Place for Miracles pinpoints the elements that have made the Baptist Children's Homes of North Carolina what it is today: values, mission, people, actions, results. The founders of the Orphanage meant for it to be a place where children would stay for only a short time. However, children came, often at early ages, and spent their entire childhood living in a self-contained community. They attended school on campus, worshipped on campus, ate meals on campus, and became "family." Older alumni refer to each other as "brothers and sisters." The Orphanage, for all intents and purposes, was the only life they knew.

Book Description
Brinda Miracle (not her real name) steals out of Redding, Connecticut in the spring of 1911 in charge of an orphan train. Though an accredited nurse and teacher, Brinda is fleeing trumped-up allegations stemming from the crib death of a baby in her care as a nanny.An orphan herself, Brinda arrives at an orphaned orphanage in St. Paul, Minnesota with three children still in her care: Nicholas, twelve, with special needs and special talents--most notably those of a pickpocket; Maxine, eight, with seemingly no need for anyone and no discernible talent; and Zane, six, whose amber eyes instill fear in those who fail to look deeper.The Miracles (Americana #7) is an historical crime satire set in a gangster haven which welcomed criminals into St. Paul as long as they didn't commit crimes in St. Paul. The novel follows the four orphans as they are welcomed into a neighborhood which features Nina Clifford's fashionable whorehouse on one side and the Bucket of Blood Saloon down the block. Brinda and the children grow into their own niches to survive amid Prohibition Era corruption while dabbling in a little bootlegging of their own through the early years of the Great Depression.

The careful perusal of these extracts will thus further the great object which Mr. Müller had in view, without the necessity of reading through the various details of his "Narratives," details which Mr. Müller felt bound to give when writing periodically the account of God's dealings with him.

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.
