  • Sharon, who, distraught over having misplaced a precious jewelry box, rejoices at the effect that finding the box has on her teenage son's faith. (“Lost and Found”)
  • Blair, an exhausted, overworked hospital resident who orders the wrong test on a patient—a Catholic priest—and whose encounter with him afterward is both startling and everlasting. (“The Accident”)
  • Donna, a patient who had derived valuable assistance and deep comfort from regular phone consultations with a nurse and who calls one last time to say thank you and is amazed by what she learns. (“Angel on the Line”)
  • Angela, whose East Texas Sunday school class decided to pray for snow and whose students at the boys' prison where she volunteers discover the remarkable power of prayer. (“Please, God, Make It Snow”)

Your faith will be bolstered and your heart leavened by these poignant, true—life accounts of God's grace in action and how it invigorates and transforms people's lives.
