A very inspirational "warm fuzzy" kind of book. The stories are followed by "comments" that bring everything into full focus. Some stories pull at your heart strings - others you find yourself saying "wow" outloud softly. This was yet another book that I found to be a quick read. I have held onto this book for a while because I really enjoyed reflecting back on it.

PERFECT BOOK FOR ALL-OCCASION GIFTS
I hate sappy books. Trust me, this was NOT one of them. The beautiful, simple true stories amused, amazed, and brought a tear to these jaundiced eyes. What a lovely surprise!

This was a really good book. It has numerous short stories in it. It really makes one wonder was it just a coincidence or did God intervene.

I thought this was a great read........if your mind is open anything can happen if you "just believe"........some of the stories ARE sad...yet they are "real life".........a great book in my mind......

From the inside of dust jacket:

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 over sixty 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 with the universe that they offer.

Small Miracles is the first book written by the authors (several others have since been published).

I read this several years ago and then put it away on a book shelf because I knew that I would want to read it again. When I found "Small Miracles for the Jewish Heart", I knew I had to order it.

As a result of reading my new acquisition, I started re-reading my old copy of Small Miracles. (See my review of Small Miracles for the Jewish Heart).

I can only say that my second reading of this book made an even greater impression on me than when I read it the first time.

All I can say is that you will either really love it or really hate it....depends on whether you are open to the possibility of real miracles right now all around us and in some cases, we are part of the story.

It was such a joy to read a story from this book every morning! Although some of the stories do not have a happy ending, still, I was moved and inspired by them all. The authors tell of coinsidences that occur in people's lives that, if not acted upon or noticed, would have been missed. A good book for the bathroom!

"Have you ever experienced a moment when a seemingly random event also seemed strangely meaningful, or even miraculous?"

I found this book to be extremely comforting. I do not believe in coincidences; I believe in miracles!

This book is about extraordinary coincidences from everyday life. Its a great book. Because it is a collection of stories, it is a good book to read on the subway. Its small enough to fit in an attache case or handbag.

An amazing book which really touched my heart and made me think. It is a series of multiple small stories (very quick reads) about "coincidences" or synchronicities in life. It really made me look at my personal life and recognize the circumstances that have been so unusual in the past few years. Definitely one to add to my library.
